Don't know if anyone's seen this:



A great little documentary about tweed. For those of you on the other side of the pond, Vic Reeves is best known as one half of surrealist comedy duo Reeves and Mortimer.



That is great! Now I want to design and weave my own tweed. It's like bespoke squared.

Yeah, you know you've made it when you can design your own tweed and have a bespoke suit made from it!
