Smith Fimeresco, NHTC tweed, mystery tweed

1) I just had a suit made up in Smith's Fimeresco, and this is the most remarkable cloth I have ever worn, really incredible, swatches do not do it justice.

2) Does anyone know a source for tweed the quality of NHTC? Teviotex does not do it for me.

3) Does anyone know where I might get a tweed like Kent is wearing in this photo? I think it is beautiful:

Negrila, though I do have a midnight blue tuxedo in the works at Centofanti and this will be my last Negrila commission for a while. I have enough suits or jacket/trouser combos (18) for my needs, there are too many problems and compromises with Negrila because of the cultural distance, and I plan on having suits made as mementos of any European vacations I take in the future, by the best tailor whereever I visit. Remember, while Negrila is inexpensive, each suit costs me about $800 with material and postage. On this last suit he put a single vent though all the other suits he made for me had double vents (I wanted double vents) and I asked for cuffs, and he forgot.

I don't know if everyone has this problem, but swatches are not terribly helpful for knowing how a fabric will make up, though I imagine this skill might be cultivated. So the Fimeresco swatches I saw were nice, but I had no idea what they would be like as a suit. Had I everything to do over, all my summer suits would be made of this fabric, it is that good.

Bucharest. I doubt it's the same guy.
