- Espresso Cotton Flannel Twill - The first thing you'll love about this fabric is the color, a soft coffee brown, almost hazy from the yarn-dyed weave. The next, the incredibly soft hand which is a result from the brushed surface and the twill weave of fabric. Medium weight and and surprising thin for a flannel, this vest will feel like your favorite blanket transformed into a tailored waistcoat.
- Pesto Cotton Twill - Bright and fresh, like the first spring shoots after a long winter, the color is just one thing to love about this fabric. With a silky, dry hand and a heavier weight, this fabric is supple and wearable, like your favorite pair of khakis that you wore until holes appeared. Matte and marvelous, this fabric is destined for your tailored vest!
- Black Pinstripe Virgin Wool Suiting - If you're looking for a classic suiting look, it's hard to go wrong with a virgin wool pinstripe. Black wool suiting is thread with an ivory stripe, roughly one inch apart, for a subtle but notable statement. The fabric itself is soft and thin, like any good suiting, and will press beautifully. Get zoot-suit ready with this fantastic fabric!
