I too, Chris, have been told that story from "one what knows". I am a huge fan of tweed and Harris Tweed in particular and I am really glad that an internationally renowned company has seen fit to use it. Sadly, nothing on this earth would persuade me to part with a halfpenny to buy footwear like that.

Ha, I'm with you on that one. I'm glad to see Harris Tweed getting some exposure in different markets, but I think I'll pass on the shoes. Footwear seems like an odd place to use tweed.

Me too. I'll keep the tweed on my back and the leather for my brogues!

I didn't want to be the first to say this but now that it's been said...
I like them but on someone else

I prefer the ones RAF posted, but all I can find online are purple, and I don't really have a need for Barney shoes.

I know, I don't care for that color either. The pic I posted I just plucked from a google search. Seems like the "blueprint" color didn't sell so well. The olive color would be a great find, but it doesn't appear that any are out there.
