Thank both of you gentlemen for your helpful replies. I have purchased most of my present suits from a traditional shop called Eljos in Charlottesville, Virginia. My favorite suit is a s120 from Charles Clayton. They have several thousand swatches from Smith Woolens and Harrisons that they use for a mtm/custom program from Southwick.

I have never examined the Millionaire's Cashmere book, but do recall examining some Lumbs Golden Bale for an overcoat. Each time I visit the store, I seem to find a new book of fabrics to contemplate.

One of my reservations about using these wonderful books has been the price/value component. I love the history of Southwick, and their models fit me comfortably;however, it seems a bit much to ask them to construct suits from this material, since they have gone to fusing, half-canvas, and computer cutting. I believe Martin Greenfield, Hickey Hand Tailored or Oxxford would be a better value with this level of fabric, as would a full bespoke tailor of course. Therefore, I have stuck to Southwick's own patterns for my suits thus far, but as Mr. Grayson said, the glen plaids are difficult to resist. I am sure I am in the minority, but glen plaids are my favorite pattern. Southwick has also recently began using Fox Brothers. I do want to try a couple of their flannels.

The suits made by St. Andrews for Luciano Barbera were stunning.  The Barbera cloths came out great with that tailoring, and were probably the best looking RTW that I have ever seen.

When Barbera moved to Attolini production, the line suffered greatly.

Yes, I have read some references to Mr. Winston on the AAAC forum. 

I don't recall ever seeing any Chipp suits, but was  in a local men's traditional shop last month where an older gentleman was picking up a navy 3/2 sack suit by H. Freeman & Son. It had a lovely shoulder, softer than my Southwicks. It was a Naturalaire model made using s100 Holland & Sherry cloth. I know that this company has seen better days since moving to Maryland, but this was a clear example of someone who had choose a model, color, and accessories that were simple but elegant. It helps to have the gravitas and wisdom of age. The garment was fully canvassed, had handmade buttonholes, and was fully canvassed, certainly worthy of a solid B in my book.
