Wow, I can almost smell that musty smell of vintage tweed....
Just a few of the new Harris Tweed arrivals on the website...
I am now adding a close up slice of the Harris Tweed to show fabrics better when browsing the website and you can now hover zoom over images in the categories ... let me know what you think and if it makes it easier to browse them?

That's a damn fine cloth.
I dunno why but for some reason I pictured Spoo a bit more heavy set.

Love that windowpane tweed. Bookster has some added some new cloths to their site, and Sid Masburn has added a tweed jacket to his site as well.
Also: shameless plug for a tweed J. Press jacket I have for sale in B&S: 41R, olive/brown herringbone, 95/5 wool/cashmere.

Breanish tweed will do custom short lengths for you. Not sure about the price, though.
As for the SpooCoat, I think it the fabric may come from the Bateman Ogden Glenhunt book. There used to be an eBay seller called AKSTextiles who had it on sale.

I saw one this weekend at a vintage store that I would have purchased if it was not a huge size. I think your best bet would be to try to thrift or buy a 1960's one at a vintage store, unless you want to pay top dollar for a special tweed design.

Given the minimal number of tweed wearers here in SoCal, I'm afraid my choice is more likely between custom weaving and ebay. Thrift stores around here carry lots of interesting stuff but tweed is relatively rare. It seems to be a bit on the uptake at present but that does little for the thrift shopper. Thanx, everyone.
