Interesting.
Though I'm not keen on their colors or patterns, some of their copy puts me in mind of some of the recent Harris Tweed copy and press releases concerning how tweed in some senses is a "luxury item" now. That is, it's a relatively skilled labor product, a heritage product, and a relatively expensive thing being made in a first world country.
