Dear @Stanacle,

Our fellows' clarifications on the "undyed British wool" subject are very useful indeed!

You've had issues with their stuff in the past?

 

[Concordia]

No, but I know a lot of tailors don't care for their stuff, usually. Again, that may only be vs Lesser suiting, etc. No idea how their sport jacketings and other more luxurious stuff holds up.
