What Fabric will I Use?

I took a trip to a large fabric shop in my town, but was unable to find a suitable fabric which I would like to use in my fibnal product. The shop assistant told me to try online, so I had a look at http://www.cheapfabrics.co.uk/ and found some medium weight suiting fabric:

I will look around a bit more and look at suitable colours before buying it but it's a definite possibility for my final piece.
I also found this mushroom coloured 'velplush':

I also thought about using some fake fur to create a more wintry feel like in this photo from the 1950's:

Which is also very fashionable now.
I found some beautiful cream faux fur online:

Or maybe some houndstooth? It was definitely popular in the 1950's:

Pierre Balmain 1950s houndstooth suit

1950s houndstooth dress

Vintage 1950s circle dress, $45, storyboutique at etsy.com

It is an eye-catching, classic graphic design, which is still in fashion:

Here is some houndstooth fabric I found online at Abakhan.com.

They also do lots of different types of suiting:
