The difference between the pound and the US dollar right now make these even cheaper for anyone in the UK.

Yeh they look really good bu its the hassle of waiting for it to be made then if the fits not right the hassle of posting it back, my budget is going to be around £30.00 ! (not a misprint)

I think the buy it now price indicates a reserve far above the stated budget. This one is also from GGH

I'd suggest trying to figure out a way to see what these actually look like before you order. I ordered one of their black leather Glens, and it was OK - about the quality I would expect for what I paid (which was quite a bit less than a wool Glen made in the UK). Acceptable, but not top drawer.

Barb I understand its hard to tell the quality from the pic, work starts next week on the coublet and i think you and my mum would hit it off in a big way with the needlecraft, Ill post regular updates- Im such a strange shape 6.2 thereabouts, but my wingpan fingetip to finger tip is 78 inches, so my wingspan i MORE than my height which is very unusual in humans (but not apes/monkeys), in fact it can be a symptom of a condition known as "marfans syndrome" which i underwent a series of test for when i was younger conclusion: no marfans its just how i am, so i end up looking like "herman munster" with off the peg stuff.
