Those that order their cloth themselves might be interested to know that J&J Minnis has a special offer on its website for the Crown Classic bunch, as it is being phased out. This is a lovely selection, weighing 320-350 grammes in a Super 100s wool with a touch of cashmere, that I have had made into suiting before. It has a nice handle yet wears well.
It is being sold at £20 a metre plus VAT and postage, until stock runs out in the various designs on offer. I highly recommend it.

So that’s £24 per metre, with the postage? On the site it lists it is £24 per metre, which implies that £4 postage is added for each metre.
is there a chalkstripe in nvy with white chalk instead of siver_
No Roger, £24 includes UK VAT of 20%. The postage is £7. US customers won’t pay the VAT.
Just ordered a nice looking grey birdseye. Quite a bargain really. I received an email almost by return to say it would be despatched today.
Thanks, I saw your reply to Will on ASW. I’m in Europe, so the VAT remains for me…worse luck.
How much of this would I need to make a jacket? A pair of pants?
