Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread
I've seen several flecked suitings over the years, mostly100% wool. I have seen it done with silk also. A flecked Mohair isn't my cup of tea either, but I can see the attraction for some.- Lovelace

Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread
I think that Tonik is a fleck weave, not a Donegal which is a Tweed not a worsted. I don't ever recall seeing one in the old Tonik book. Shot and patterned, but not fleck. If I remember I'll ask my tailor about them.- Lovelace

My response was to someone who was being vitriolic towards me. Apropos mouthed off without reading the article I'd linked to whilst also ignoring the fact I wasn't even engaging with him. And to further compound his foolishness he continued to have a 'pop'. Similar to how you are behaving...- Lovelace

You didn't read the articles I linked to did you? You just decided to mouth off didn't you? Proving to all and sundry that you haven't got a clue what you are talking about.- Lovelace

Yes, he was Daniels pupil. Have you even read the articles I posted because if you have, I suggest you reread the NY Times one again. This time more carefully.- Lovelace

As I said. The last of his kind. I very much doubt that we will see skill of that level again. This thread confirms that, sadly.- Lovelace

His name was Dr George Daniels. Died in 2010, He invented the coaxial escapement used by Omega. It was said just before his death, that he was the only living horologist able to build a watch completely by hand. That is, make every component and assemble it by his own hand. Here...- Lovelace

Most modern watches are about jewellery not craftsmanship. Most incorporate mass produced movements. The last true horological craftsman died a few years back. The last of his kind.- Lovelace
