A couple of new cloths for the Yanks ?
Bookster now does Harris tweed.
Black Watch and McLeod Hunting tartans are amongst them.
Never knew Harris tweed was available in those patterns.
Could not see it being a big seller in the UK market.

Re: A couple of new cloths for the Yanks ?
Americans basically keep the Harris tweed industry alive. Frankly I dont like the stuff but it is enormously popular here.
Harrisons has a great Harris tweed book that basically has the weight of a good Harris tweed but with a looser weave to allow additional air circulation.
