Tweed year round?

well not to add anything to your nature but have you considered Harrisons Moonbeam range 320g Lambswool or even P&H's Glorious 12 which is not really tweed but the have some great designs and are only 11oz too
I'm going to check out the P&H Glorious 12th next time Desmond is in town. That book suggestion has come up several times in threads I've started.

I don't think Des carries Harrisson's.
I do have Harrisons Chris!!

And you have looked at the P+H Glorious 12th with me old boy!!

The Moonbeam looks and feels quite good - very soft and dense like cashmere but with more spring due to the weave. I've got a piece of the 36501 on my desk right now, a mid gray with a lilac overcheck. You can see it in the top row, middle of Luk-cha's helpful post. I like the soft and the colorful, but my priority is for blue or a green this time. We'll see.

What are the group's thoughts on the Moonbeam range?

I have to admit that when i moved away from London most of my chalkstripes and City suits remain firmly in the wardrobe now. I'm nearly always seen sporting tweeds and thats all through the year
Especially since England seems to forgotten the word "summer" entirely""
