2010-04-10 Sat - The London Tweed Run 2

hee hee :-)

nice mr jammy

i'm so excited i might wee myself... the tweed run/dashing tweeds colloration flatcaps arrived today! they're gorgeous! yay, yay, yay!

we'll put them up for sale on the tweedrun website soon...

Holy moly, brilliant!

I want, I want! Will the the shop open at a fixed time, with a limited number of caps? - I'm worried I might not get one... ;-)

What price? They are soooo good, Teddy.

Price is on the Tweed Run site - reassuringly expensive (but a fiver less than Dashing Ts standard caps...).

You are one dapper motherfucker Teddy. Love the lining.

Is there any points-based marking scheme for the moustache competition - like in village fete vegetable shows - or just the doggiest overall?

Dear Tweed Run rider

A hearty welcome to London Cycling Campaign. It’s simply delightful that you chaps and chappesses are taking up our offer of a free, three month membership of LCC

yippee.

nice one teddy, the hats are reem as some would say.

cant imagine how your going to top it next year and i was just wondering how long before the tweed run is by royal appointment?

Oooh, thank you Gerald, that reminds me that I've not had a LCC membership email back from LCC. Whilst I imagine the chap is absolutely swamped with requests, I will chase him forthwith.

Good website that, prices aren't too bad either.

HEY KIDS. if I have emailed you, please email me back your details... last call. :) I'll be mailing all of those who did get back to me tonight.

don't say we never give you nothin'. if you still haven't picked up your tweeds for the ride, several companies are offering discounts for participants.

ds dundee is an east london-based luxury menswear label that uses fabrics from traditional uk mills. they're offering some great prices on aw2009/10 tweed suits, but they have limited sizes left.

farlows is a traditional english outdoor supplier on st james street. they have a range of nice, affordable house-made tweed suits for both men and women. they also sell fantastic shooting socks (the knee-high kind) and a things like caps and ties. they'll "take good care" of anyone who comes in and says they're from the tweed run, with a special discount.

walker slater is a more contemporary clothier with a store in parsons green (and one in edinburgh). they have a good range of tweedy delights. they're offering a 15% discount to anyone who comes in and says they're from the tweed run.

also keep an eye out for tweed run collaboration products, with special editions of products done in conjunction with brooks, dashing tweeds, ds dundee, h huntsman & sons, quoc pham, rapha, and a few others...

collaboration with quoc pham ...... WOW, i love their shoes

collaboration with quoc pham ...... WOW, i love their shoes

i GUARANTEE you'll love the quoc pham/tweed run collaboration. i CAN'T WAIT to get a pair myself.

Ooh - I just bought a pair of Quoc's lovely shoes last week; though perhaps I could treat myself to another...

Where's the TW store due to open for the Dashing caps, Teddy?

Nice,

any ideas Teddy when those who requested their entry pack by post will get them?

they'll be posted the same weekend that they become available for collection at the stores (two weeks' time)

Cheers chap for the swift reply!

Some nice pics in Cycling Active what's on, too ;)

the quoc pham/tweed run collaboration shoe production sample arrived in the post today! benchmade proper oldschool sprinter shoes, handmade in a beautiful hand-selected vegetable-tanned leather, traditionally hand-polished to give them a beautiful, deep antique patina, then finished by being rubbed with lots of layers of beaswax to seal. limited to 100 pairs. they'll sell for around £100.

sadly the production sample is too small for me :(

WOW
