    There is Tweed and then there is Harris Tweed,they are not quite the same thing.I have never heard of Bookster,but they have some interesting stuff by the looks of it.If you were going to buy a shooting suit make sure that you don't buy that awful thin,soft fashion type tweed, it won't last for 5 minutes!Nothing less than 16oz, 24oz is the best for that job.

    When this invitation to shoot arrives out of the blue,so to speak, do you think you might require a loader?
