Why Not ? (Part One) ...

... Have your own Tweed woven  ?

  - More affordable than you might think. Plus, if you club together it sweetens the pill no end.

Many names are out there...

Here's one I thought might fit the budgets of the forum -


http://www.thebritishtweedcompany.co.uk/create-your-own-tweed/


- I have just done this, but used a different company, to furnish me with a sofa & a couple of armchairs...

  - No desire to mix up my affairs with an internet forum and so I have suggested an alternative source to you.

  - Shop nicely.

Just as good for a three piece suit as a three piece suite -

The Yorkshire mills are begging for business.

A minimum order length is to be expected from all.

Get a swatch before they really set the looms a rollin'.

You will have something unique and, with the aid of your Friendly Neighbourhood Ivy Tailor or Seamstress, some jolly nice togs.

- UK Ivy Tailor tip: Go backstreet, go Asian. Happy to copy old gear & they copy well. Avoid spending more at stuck-up English places who sneer at the 'lack of tailoring' in Ivy.

Everything is do-able. Just step off the Net.

The scariest thing is what you guys allow to stuff out your furniture...I had to strip US stuff of foam that releases cyanide when it burns...lunacy!

I see the utility of these fabrics as "gifts" thanks to Bop.

Lol...I'm never living down the "carpet boots" as WM called them.

This guy could use some of this upholstery, ya know, to put out a fire as well as cardboard and a mattress do.

The party begins at about 4:50:

you cannot live down a legend, ask Leer ....

re the conflagration video, a very unfortunate incident, what was this poor guy trying to do?  I hope he didn't lose his Ivy or his action figures.

Is there an Indian equivalent of the W.I. ?
