2009-01-24 Sat - The Tweed Run I

Ah, well, I have a proper harris tweed one that my grandad left me that's marginally too small for me, but I'm 6'2" and have a 48" chest.

can i borrow it, please?

pip - i'll split the pipe baccy with you, if you like.

BRM ya bugger - I was gonna ask that

2nd dibs

3rd dibs

okay then. if anyone is doing the op shop thing, and they see some big daddy/big reddy/big veddy sized tweed, let someone know.

I was on about the baccy ;)

I need to get two (I broke my freinds while compeating in the Hop, Skip and G&T and the Chap Olimpiad) pipes and some tobacco. I am sure there will be enough to go arround.

I also have a spair harris tweed jacket (a little bit small for me so for a scinny person) that someone could borrow for the day.

Could one of these be adapted to fit as a pannier? We wouldn't want to run out of gin at any point...

Ring any bells? Anything?

^ Ha! Funniest thing I've read on this thread.

65. eyebrows, i live for tweed
    

this looks a right laugh....reckon id get away with throwing some tartan in the mix....may even don a Kilt/tweed combo...now where did i put all that spare january cash?

Just had a delivery arrive of fresh tweed jackets some suits flat caps cravats etc today. Will be cleaning it etc and will be for sale in What Goes Around comes Around tomorrow 0cabbababababbceada

whoop's computer's gone crazy on the typo! Sorry people!

Where's your shop?

I also have a spair harris tweed jacket (a little bit small for me so for a scinny person) that someone could borrow for the day.

I would be interested in that cheers

Thats cool. Its not the fanciest of jackets but fits nicely round the waste.

If you come down wearing a full tweed suit in the same pattern/colour as your geekhouse then I'd happily doff my cap

Ring any bells? Anything?

man, you make me laugh :D

Its now on a side street off Old Compton St near Cuts i think and its Dennys or something like that!

Correct. it's in Dean Street now. BTW I'm bringing my clay pipe.

Fiddy, you just had to go all archaeological!

BRM or BDW: I've decided to wear the Harris one myself but either of you can borrow the jacket from the suit if you like. I'll try and find a photo somewhere, it'll have me in it, be warned.

Stevo, Try and convince Matt and John (who are, as you probably know, rather partial to a bit of tweed) to do this on the tandem.
