The difference is that doeskin fabric is shorn off a sheeps back! It's a woolen fabric, which one assumes, resembles the skin of a doe (just as moleskin resembles moles' fur).

Yes, the tweedshop offering is what I want, but I had seen it already and had hoped that X-markers would flood the message board with all sorts of links to waistcoat peddlers/makers.

Is the waistcoat really in decline??
