Re: Harrisons Millionaire cashmere jackets
Nice. Third from the top has been my favorite since first seeing it years ago, however, I was quoted about $5,000 for a jacket back then which relegated it to more a fantasy.

re: cloth provenance
Perhaps it's from collecting tribal carpets, but it is fairly easy to see similarities in some jacketing cloths. For example, P&H Glorious Twelves is clearly from the same mill as a Holland Sherry range. With worsted suitings it is quite different. You can tell an H Lesser worsted by look and feel.
Smith's suitngs NOT the same mill(s) as H Lesser. H Lesser had a small range of lightweight lambswool jacketing, again, clearly the same as an old range of P&H.

I forgot to add that my "Royal Cashmere" jacketing, was milled by Woodhouse.

I actually own a natural-shoulder jacket made from the fifth swatch from te top. It drapes beautifully, and women want to touch me all the time. Considering the latter upside, I got over my sticker shock.
