Film,

Thanks for the report on the Voyage cloth.  As an Attorney who live in the hot and humid south, this may be just my fabric when I next visit NY.  I have been wanting to have a suit made by Corvato for a few years now.

Would you suggest that I get it made half-lined/three-quarter lined (like Oxxford does)?

Lesser have a lightweight and an 11 oz 150s book that is fantastic in every respect, including cost.  H&S have some nice, and less expensive, 140s and 150s in a variety of weights and patterns - I am doing something with their 13 oz. Victory jacketing (140s) for winter and am excited.  Zegna's 15mil15 is effectively 150s and quite fine and more modern which befits the higher super.

Thanks FNB and Marc.

The question on Golden Bale cloths wasn't addressed to me, but I'll chime in.  I can't comment on exact prices because it depends on where they are purchased, but Lesser cloth tends to be priced at least a notch above Harrisons (and Smith) - eg Lesser 80s ~= Harrisons 120s, GB ~= Harrisons 150s.  GB is wonderful stuff, but interesting patterns are in short supply, which is why the Cru books appeal so.
