Harris tweed is amazing stuff- if it's the real thing it is handwoven in the Isle of Harris off the Scottish coast which is why it's so narrow. That's the typical width for a single person handloom. If I were you, I'd consider making him a period hood with perhaps a matching belt pouch ( really nice one, not just a drawstring thingie). Harris tweed is just too nice not to use. Karen Seamstrix

It's only 28" wide so it's a bit small for a tunic for my other half. I could make a medieval tunic with different material in the sleeves? Any thoughts as to how that might look - are we in a 'spoiling the ship for a ha'porth of tar' situation. Can anyone think of something that could be made with it? I suppose if all else fails I could sell it -- Caroline _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
