Nice score, Sean!
Looks to be a nice, sagey shade of Lovat green; always a very versatile color option!

I'm a cop and I'm coming to arrest you because, simply put, that's a steal and you're the perpetrator...

I think if the goods are declared on the customs paperwork as a gift and off no commercial value, no duty is to be paid, that's how I would ship any stuff to Canda / Usa

The dollar/pound exchange rate will make any purchase in Britain a lot more attractive. Time for all you guys to get buying while it lasts!

Congratulations, it looks like it still has lots of wear in it, and Harris Tweed is just wonderful stuff, wear it well.
