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

You should see what we have in northern Wisconsin,I doubt I'll get the tweed up here.

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.

I basically feel the same about Walmart. However, tomorrow I may end up driving by a Super Walmart here at the beach. I may just have to stop in for an investigatory stroll through the store. If I should see anything interesting (a'la tweed) I will grab a (cell phone) photo and post here.

And, if (bit "if" here) they should have a Harris Tweed jacket that fits me - I might have to whip out the plastic money and take one home.

Only thing that comes up on line is a book and a dog collar!

Grab it, take it home, study it more, take it back if you dont like... Dont see them hitting the midwest either...

I highly doubt that any stores near here will carry them.

Well, Kevin the reason for not sharing this great find is I haven't seen them. I'm sure Superstore 1833 doesn't have them unless they came in today. I've checked Walmart.com and see no listing. Looks a little upscale for Wally World. Are you pulling our leg, mate?

No leg pulling going on here. I walked into the Sterling store by Dulles Town Center for a little look-see over lunch. I did a double take when I walked by, turned and felt the fabric (the tag was turned face down) and thought it was nice, turned the tag over and there it was Harris Tweed. I turned the lapel and found the Harris Tweed Globe lable. I didn't try one on but they have normal jacket sizing. I'm not sure what kind of size range they had but there were at least 15 of each pattern. I may return tomorrow and try one on.

I'm leaving now to buy the lot of them. I'll send you the link to my eBay listing.
