To me this is the the perfect mid (or slightly darker) grey flannel. The colour is not quite as dark as the Luxire photo would suggest. I'd say the VBC Mid Grey Flannel 504.801/3 photo is closer to how this "dark grey" flannel actually looks. I first purchased the mid grey flannel 504.801/3 which turned out to be a significantly lighter shade of grey than the photo would suggest. I much prefer this dark grey colour (actually more mid grey) 562.801/4 .
At 12oz/360g this flannel is heavy enough to drape well and not wear out the first winter. I've never found them to warm to wear inside. I would actually prefer something even heavier for the coldest Swedish winter months but this should work well also for spring and autumn. As I expected from VBC, this is a quality fabric. The flannel feels compact, not loose like many cheaper flannels. I had them lined front and back to 5" below knees and haven't noticed any bagging or pilling.
