Visited my MTM tailor (my casual trouser maker) and my bespoke tailor today. The topic discussed with both was heavy winter trousers. My 22.5 oz bespoke chocolate cords haven't even been made yet, and it has been a year. Covid has caused massive disruptions, but l will have them in the next several weeks by winter.
I went to my MTM trouser maker to order a grey herringbone Porter & Harding 18 oz tweed trousers to wear with various thick shawl cardigans in navy and burgundy. I like this fabric, and l also like that it makes a statement, and few men would have the guts to wear such trousers...but to me it is as manly as it gets. The only problem l have with 18 oz tweed trousers is that it is not near heavy enough for me during winter.
The 35 oz monster daddy
I was going to order a second 18 oz tweed trouser, but then l was shown the Dugdale `INVINSIBLE' 14 oz - 35 oz book. I laughed and said "you're kidding me, l don't believe it". I went straight to the two 35 oz fabrics and l ordered this bad boy: looks better on the proper side. This is a dream come true....have always wanted to experience the extremely heavy fabrics. I will wear this trouser with coats and thick shawl cardigans.
Thruth may be a BIG winter daddy, but l am going to give him a run for his money. I bet you have never worn 35 oz wool trousers `eh? Well...l am looking forward to it.
I also like this for a future trouser, a dark brown herringbone 18 oz tweed for trousers. Probably not most people's taste for trousers, but l know what l like.
If you are into heavy fabrics, please feel free to share here. I am talking 18 oz and above. I asked my tailor to get the 25 oz Porter & Harding corduroy book also. When l do winter l wanna do it properly and wear extremely heavy trousers.
