abscence of any natural fibers (ie mohair) in the afore mentioned fabric. A
fabric shop on the portobello road tried to convince me that some fabric
they had was 'mohair' - they were reluctant to do a flame test on a sample
which after much insisting turned the fabric into something resembling
shrink-wrap. Tonik for 12 pounds a metre - yeah right...... It didn't even
feel like mohair.

get a well made suit out of fine material for what the Merc charges. As long
as you know this when you shop there it's fine - a bit like shopping at
Ikea. It looks "kind of" good but is guaranteed to fall to bits and
ultimately disappoint you.
