let's look at vintage check tweed

Richard,

Those are both great patterns. I also really like 576, and 571 reminds me of the "Burns Check" jacket that McMurdo has. I fear that the lack of prices may indicate that "if you have to ask" it may be prohibitive to order the material for shipping to East Asia.

Figheadair, The Johnstons site has some gorgeous patterns. And it is popping up with prices--in Chinese currency! But at 1400+RMB/meter (about $200/yard) and no idea of shipping costs, it may take me a while to save up for enough material to make a jacket/waistcoat combo.

But it really gives you something to aspire to. Your outfit from Johnstons looks smashing.
