Yes - I arranged a return but then Mavic said they were going under so I've not sorted anything out.
Normally more organised, but young babies demand a lot of time & attention.

I bought this tweed jacket in a retro clothing shop in Accrington on Thursday. I don't know how old it is,but the wool is carpet thick and the jacket on inspection is very well put together! I'd say a jacket of this kind nowadays would cost around £250-350. I paid £22.50 for it.

That’s a good price for a decent vintage Harris Tweed one. There obviously aren’t enough hipsters in your neck of the woods to justify inflated prices.I bought this tweed jacket in a retro clothing shop in Accrington on Thursday.

Ian,the owner had the shop done up during lockdown. He only opens three days a week and it's always busy. I don't know where he finds his stock and how he sells it for those very low prices,but never look a gift horse in the mouth eh!

When we went to trade fairs the Harris Tweed people were on the stand next to us and we always chatted. I went down to a rival show a few miles away where somebody was selling genuine Harris Tweed jackets made in Yorkshire from Yorkshire tweed. When I came back and reported this there was a short silence as being religious they could not swear in public at least. Shortly after one person was left on the stand and the rest had vanished. On my next visit to the rival show {where we did some business anyway} the offending exhibitors were not to be seen. Don't mess with the teuchters.
That's smart, they go with almost anything. I'm not sure your local knuckle draggers will be impressed, but sod 'em.I bought this tweed jacket in a retro clothing shop in Accrington on Thursday.
