Any experience of "That British Tweed Company"?

[nick_s]

I must be getting on in years, as tweed is starting to appeal. I've got my eyeballs on this 3 piece suit:

Does anyone have experience of shopping from this company, or indeed any other company that specialises in tweed?

Muchas Gracias in advance.

I'm of the younger generation and I think that suit looks gorgeous.

Hence, you're officially allowed to call it 'hip' and 'down with the kids' should you so please

Unfortunately, I've not dealt with them... it might be on the cards in the future though!

It is a dapper suit @Benz3ne! Although I fear I might have to sport some sort of facial hair to complete the look! A proper handlebar might work well.

A proper handlebar would work well.

I've amended that one for you, Nick!

I've used them Nick for a flat cap in what looks like the same colour & pattern. Very good service.

That ain't tweed, it's plastic!!

That is a nice outfit Nick,....when is the fancy-dress party?....

You'll certainly stand out from any, "croud", wearing real tweed in that whistle, mate.

True, but I suspect real tweed would cost an arm AND a leg, and I like balance in my life

Ha! No fancy dress party buddy, I have an inexplicable desire to own said suit

Only Harris Tweed from the Hebrides qualifies as real British tweed. It will have an official seal on the inside liner. @Bogeyman is correct; it is plastic.

I'd rather shove wasps up my arse rather than wear that!....

That's a whole new level of sadism I never knew existed I'd definitely take the suit over using wasps as suppositories

...a double-breasted weskit,....really?

Were all the rage in the mid 1960s when I hit the clubs in Liverpool. Though, being Italian cut, the jackets were box cut, the waistcoats scoop fronted and full wrapover. Now, if Nick can only source a pair of chisel toe, cuban heel, Chelsea boots he's totally prepared for the sixties club scene. True style never goes out of fashion ...
