Certainly not! You can get a softly-rolled lapel out of Melton, but you'd never get it to pleat.
Ruadh gu brath!

Re: Marton Mills - I've just ordered some tartan from them, but I only noticed solid black on their website. The grey shadow has an underlying (jacquard?) check to it. Am I missing something? I'm going to check out Dalgliesh. Thank you all!

Yes you are missing something. Marton Mills also weaves a line of Cavalry Twill (which has miniscule lycra content) and various 2/2 twills in different weights.
I have a price list which delineates which ranges are which but most of their solid cloth is not featured on their website which means you have to call and ask about getting swatches.
Ask about
Follifoot (2/2 twill 13-14 oz)
Skipton range (cavalry twill approx 14-15 oz)
Woodhead range (cavalry twill approx 18oz)
