    I've been Money Tipped!
    Incidently, we had a catalogue through the door that is for sort of young middle aged tweed fans (I glanced and liked some things, but I think my moher would like some of the things too, not sure of quality, claims of tweed origin) that carried an add for Joules on the order page, so a new company from the same stable?

    If tweed is cool again would be good.

    One of the problems with functional tweed is the new fabrics. New fabric shooting and hacking jackets are cheaper, lighter, bit of stretch and washable. Less charming, and often poorly cut though. But then, geting well fitting hacing jacket in good tweed is also hard, and its less obliging if you deviate from standard shape.

    I'd love to see a newer range of really beautifully stylish outdoor wear for eample, every thing is pink or powder blue and has jordan or contraversial dressage divas on it these days.

    I want everyone to look like Noel Fielding from the Mighty Boosh. We've been watching it on DVD tonight, and he is just sooo pretty. Sod tweed, I'm in a Ziggy Stardust meets goth kind of mood tonight!

    Sadly, my OH would just look pants in loads of eye make-up and spangly trousers.

    Tweed it is, then. Damn.

    Didn't he really mess up on the Buzzcocks last time? Read this somewhere, I think - didn't see it.

    (PS Sorry fc for spoiling your lovely on-topic thread....)

    I thought he was pretty funny. Though how many takes it took I have no idea.

    To get thread back on topic, if they ever made tweed with a touch of lycra (to make it more practical per lir comments) then he would look mighty fine in a tweed catsuit.
