    Looks good, SR, I've not seen this business before. In the product information, does the answer NO in the 'Eligible for International Delivery' really mean what it seems to?

    Looks great. Now I have another project for my upcycled tweed. A flask to match with my phone cover

    Got a bit of tweed scraps and a sewing machine? Here is what you can do for yourself. Like Kiltedrennie said I have a flask cover to match my phone cover.


    Took all of 20 minutes to put together.


    And to go with the flask is the phone.


    Of course to top it off I had to top myself off with the same tweed. The accessories are unlimited.


    The fun part of XMarks is seeing what other people do and doing something in my own style for myself.

    I also picked up some leather scraps from a vendor at MRF that would look great with the tweed. I think I'll add a belt loop.

    I really like the tweed Balmoral, brewerpaul! Where did you find a pattern? I have a black Balmoral with red and white dicing that I wear in the winter and I'd like to change it up a wee bit.

    Appreciate the inspiration. Sitting here with the rain pouring down, I thought, "why not?" I had some scrap leather and tweed in the bin, so an hour later my flask now has a new set of threads. You won't see my Scotch catching a cold this winter.



    Thanks.

    Earl D, sent a pm with link to the Balmoral pattern..
    English Bloke -- Thank you I am quite fond of tweed and especially like the one I used for the Bonnet. Circa 1956 found on EBay and is now a coat, Balmoral, phone holder and flask holder. I think I have enough left to make a carrier for my growler bottle so I can fill it in style at the local brewpub.
