Is it really that bad?

I didn't get it from Ed, I got it from a guy in Manchester, England.

I have given up on getting it made. My wife saw it and said, Reevolving style, that why are you getting cloths which are more suited to men 20 years your senior ? That doused any fire I had left for the cloth.

I'll buy it if it's at least 2.75 yards.

picked up a length of this really great birdseye. Unnamed Hudderfield mill - cashmere/wool blend.

Wow. Pretty nice, scruff. Do birdseye come in different sizes? I have a what I think is a birdseye suit, but with much smaller "eyes".

Should I go with patch or flap pockets for Solaro?

I think you could do either, but I kinda lean toward flap . Maybe because solaro has that sheen to it makes it seem a little more "suity."

I split the difference and went for flap with ticket pocket.

Not at all, its perfectly nice. Get it made with 3 patch with dark grey trousers, blue shirt, green grenadine and suede shoes and you are fully SF approved (in a nice way).

Its just that its more mustardy that what I thought it would be. Also my wife thinks that it doesn't suit my age/personality/whatever and these days I take her advice somewhat.

Anyways, I am not looking to sell and my posting pics was not a proxy for a FS thread.

I've seen different sizes. I have one with smaller eyes as well.

OK -- will do. Not sure that I qualify as an "expert" since I have only ever ordered tweed from here before: http://www.hfwltd.com/a-jgh.php

Also had my tailor make me up a jacket in some Harris Tweed that he sourced (don't know where he got it).

Does anyone have a picture of Crispaire #333100 or a suit made up with it? Thanks.
