Suit fabrics (Brosnan era)

Was wondering if anyone had any expertise on the type of wool used in the suits in the Brosnan flicks?
While the suits are made by Brioni, Hemming chose the fabrics off Savile Row and fabric shops like Dormeuil. I know that in Goldeneye the suits were made of Super 100 English wool, but I'm wondering if anyone knew what they were for TWINE (particularly the Bilbao/Baku suits). They seem different from the GE suits, which had a more rigid and stiff appearance.

I can't help with TWINE, but in TND he wore: the blue diamond tie suit cloth was "Loro Piana's lightweight grey flannel", and the copper tie suit cloth was a "blue birds-eye worstead cloth from Holland & Sherry of Saville Row."

I'm looking to get a suit made in the Bilbao style, and I've been trying to pin down the correct fabric.
The Scottish headquarters suit is a Brioni gray cheviot tweed with a blue windowpane check. The tux was a midnight blue mohair/wool blend, and the linen herringbone suit worn at Maiden's Tower is a beige Irish linen suit with patch pockets.
