Dear Jonathans,
All my flannel is fully lined - not the trousers though.
Cheers, David
I thought LL Flannels are the same as the Fox Heritage Flannels - no? I might be mistaken. I was looking at https://www.themerchantfox.co.uk/collec ... pe-flannel - would that be different from a fabric that LL would produce?alden wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 10:21 pmThe other option is to wait, put another project up for this year, one that you have "exceptional" cloth for and let's see if we can make the LL flannel in a classic wide chalkstripe. I would LOVE to make one in navy blue, one in English gray, one in gray and one in brown just like I did for the LL/Fox Flannel book.
But you might not like LL flannel because its heritage goes way back. There is nothing soft about it. No cashmere in it. It has the rustic, thick, rough hand of traditional flannels from the 30s. And it wears like a worsted. You won't need two trousers (but make them anyway.)
Cheers

I designed a book of Flannel for Fox. It was the London Lounge/Fox Bookthought LL Flannels are the same as the Fox Heritage Flannels - no? I might be mistaken. I was looking at https://www.themerchantfox.co.uk/collec ... pe-flannel - would that be different from a fabric that LL would produce?
The only reason I have generally steered away from flannel is wholly irrational : as a child I wore a heavy flannel school uniform - to a school I despised. As you will suppose, the uniforms were destruction-tested by schoolboys, yet bore up remarkably well.alden wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 10:21 pmThe other option is to wait, put another project up for this year, one that you have "exceptional" cloth for and let's see if we can make the LL flannel in a classic wide chalkstripe.

I ended up waiting & putting another project up for this year - an vintage vicash from the 80s or 90s (I knew at one point, but I don't remember). When do you normally run a fabric project for the Fall? Definitely interested. How many grams is your flannel? I was looking at the Fox Flannel (370/410), and Harrisons Flannel (410, if I recall), and while it wasn't to bad, it wasn't what i was looking for.alden wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 10:21 pmThe other option is to wait, put another project up for this year, one that you have "exceptional" cloth for and let's see if we can make the LL flannel in a classic wide chalkstripe.

I will put an LL flannel (425-435 gms) Special Subscription up soon in a Navy Blue Chalkstripe so you can have it for Fall.I ended up waiting & putting another project up for this year - an vintage vicash from the 80s or 90s (I knew at one point, but I don't remember).

Thanks - just confirming, Is that the normal LL Flannel weight? Or do you normally do heavier? I was thinking it'd be even heavier, but I'll trust your judgment - Im a novice compared to you.alden wrote: ↑Tue Feb 18, 2020 4:58 pmI will put an LL flannel (425-435 gms) Special Subscription up soon in a Navy Blue Chalkstripe so you can have it for Fall.I ended up waiting & putting another project up for this year - an vintage vicash from the 80s or 90s (I knew at one point, but I don't remember).

Right. I was thinking of the LL DD Worsted. The LL Flannel is 465 gms. And it is a heavy, tightly woven 465.Thanks - just confirming, Is that the normal LL Flannel weight? Or do you normally do heavier? I was thinking it'd be even heavier, but I'll trust your judgment - Im a novice compared to you.
GSCA new LL Flannel is exciting. I'll be interested to learn more about it and how it compared with the wonderful, previous LL Flannels.
