Just off the phone with two very ... very slow Americans.

Struggling through the language barrier, they have houndstooth in stock & will ship outside the US.

Ill be making an order in the next few months. Would anyone be interested in a group purchase?

I mean slow as in, mentally slow.

This place seems to specialise in old BMW's. So it might be handier if a few people are looking the same cloth. Might even worm a discount out of them :mad:

I work for an American company, its torture some times. For what ever reason unknown to me they cannot grasp time zones, it wouldn't be the first time I have had ball ache from someone for not being working, until I have to explain while it might be 4:30PM in boston its 9:30PM in the UK.

I don't want to b*tch too much! They might give me lovely lovely houndstooth material. :D

but I did have to inform one american chap where Northern Ireland was. In their defence alot of english people struggle with the Norn Iron accent.

I could do with some of the anthracite (0211) material that covers the bolsters, rather than the actual houndstooth check, which i find much more hard wearing than later squab materials.

Is this something they make or old stock or...........
