Absolutely loving this English army cloth right now! Pictured beside our royal kersey; lighter in color and weight than what we have used in the past, and baring a striking resemblance to some of the ‘greyer’ extant examples. Less blue, more grey, with a faint green undertone in certain light. A fine alternative to the other great repro EAC on the market. Send me a message if you are interested in having a jacket or trousers made.

*limited yardage available*
