As I understand it - no market, no demand, too many family-owned businesses with vested interests in keeping prices high.

Thinking of these four for sport jackets, I am not too excited about the first one so if anyone has any alternatives to it,I'd appreciate it.

If you want a green base, there's some interesting ones on bookster tweed's cloth gallery.
