    New Walmart Offering - Harris Tweed
    I'm surprised Ern (Mael Coluim) hasn't clued us in on this one.

    They had three weave patterns: Speckled Blue/Grey, Speckled Brown and Grey Herringbone

    Walmart kilts may be just around the corner.

    Whoa! That's cheap! I might just have to get one, not even for a conversion.

    Alluring and alarming at the same time!

    For that price, I can't imagine what tailoring methods were used. I wonder if there's a lot of fusable interfacing inside. And if the sleeves were sewn on, or glued on like many mass produced jackets. :?

    Harris Tweed Jackets are being sold on Ebay alot ...too for cheap price's . But Wal-Mart that is different. I would buy one even if it was made cheaper - just to make it in to a Kilt Jacket .
    Fun times

    Boy, you have some classy Wal-marts in Virginia.
    Everything in the Maine stores are in camo or hunter orange.

    I haven't stepped inside a Walmart in years, but if they had Harris tweed in my size at that price, I might. Even if the sleeves were stapled on.
