about 22-24 oz, unless you're talking about a very rugged Norfolk type suit, as oppose to a smart suit, in which case you could probably go a bit higher.
(you could find Shetland / Scotch tweeds with a nearly identical look in the 18-20 oz range more suitable for suits)
What does that translate to in grams?
I ask because I'm looking at two different gray flannels at the moment, one is a 660 and the other a 720. Both are vintage(ish) remnants , I believe, but there's enough to make a pair of trousers from both. I hoping to get a pair of wide legged 1930s-esque bags made from one of them, but I'm not sure if those weights are too heavy.
What do you think HBK?
