    Made a return trip today, sizing is correct for an off-the-rack jacket. The hanger comes with the jacket and it could fetch $10 on its own at other stores. If it were not for the upcoming week long holiday office closure, of which four days are unpaid, I would snap one of these up.

    I was just in the Richmond, CA Walmart on a long shot. It's in a mall, not an isolated big box, so thought they might have the jackets. No dice.

    What more do you want to see? My original photo shows the one of the flecked jackets and in the background you can see the shoulder of the herringbone. It is Harris Tweed by lable and hand. Construction look to be pretty good for a made in China jacket. Looks to be stitched all around no glue that I can tell. Not sure I will make it over again tomorrow.

    Well since nobody else has seen them this really is unusual. I may pick one up as a collectors item. I don't know of another store that would sell Chinese made Harris Tweed jackets. I have seen no Walmart specific markings anywhere. Well we shall see how they sell.

    Kevin: I smell a business opportunity. Buy a gaggle of them and sell them for a handsome profit - buyer pays shipping and "handling". Maybe Rocky will take them all off your hands at a stroke.

    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.
