Designing a new tweed is challenging but very satisfying, especially when the new fabric is presented back in the form of a well tailored shooting suit. For us the designing part is now over and we have come up with two new designs to add to the two we were already running. Our most popular suit has been Colour 7 as shown below closely followed by our new green tweed. As the suits are light and dark green it was felt that an influence of brown would spread the range well.
Of the two new designs, the first is a wide herringbone with a subtle mix of earthy heather shades. In the true tradition of what tweeds were designed for, this fabric will hide itself on many a moor. Our second tweed takes the same overall shade but has an elegant check woven within it.
All four shooting suits will be stocked from 38 to 52 in short regular and long sizes in the form of jackets, waistcoats, shooting vests and breeks. We will be holding fabric to make plus 4’s, field coats, caps, full length trousers and other items. In 2012 we have been able to fit at least 95% of our customers from our stock selection without having to do expensive special measures.
We think our offer is unique in that we have designed it all ourselves, woven it in England from genuine British wool and then sold it on for the garments to go back to the fields that the wool came from! On a commercial note we are offering these very high quality products at a fraction of the cost of made to measure and with an almost immediate delivery!
Our two new suits will be available from April 2013 although we should have samples available to view from December this year.
Safe shooting
