Bracing ourselves for more orders from New Zealand and Australia!

We've been delighted to receive several orders recently from Australia and New Zealand. Extra strong braces are popular with our customers there, plus Grip Top knee length socks.

Some customers from New Zealand and Australia are travelling to the UK, and ask for delivery to the UK address where they are staying - for example with relations, or at a club or hotel. We are happy to arrange this. When you fill in the online order form, you can specify one address for billing and another address for delivery if that is what you would like.

Thank you to our customers down under. Feel free to email if you have a query - it's always great to hear from you.

Tweed suit fabrics in a range of colours and styles including herringbone and checks

We have an attractive range of tweed fabrics, from traditional herringbones and salt and pepper designs to more colourful checks. Customers visiting the shop for made to measure suits and jackets enjoy seeing and handling the fabric samples. 

Online it is more difficult to show you the fabrics. We can give you an idea of what we have available, but colour reproduction varies on different computers, tablets, and mobiles - and of course we can't replicate the experience of feeling the cloth.

One of our tweed cloth pattern bunches is shown above. There are nearly 40 different tweeds in this bunch alone. Below is a smart tweed fabric with a bold check on a subtle background, which looks superb as either a suit or a sports jacket.

Soon we hope to show more fabrics in the made to measure section of this website. Meanwhile, don't hesitate to phone us on 01874 623613 or call in at our shop in Brecon to find out more about tweed made to measure.

Orders from the Republic of Ireland

We have many customers in the Republic of Ireland. As the majority of addresses in Eire don't currently have postcodes, we've set up the online ordering form to enter "0000" in the postcode line, as this cannot be left blank.

When postcodes are introduced soon, customers in the Republic will be able to enter their new postcode.

Don't hesitate to phone us in our shop in Brecon on 00 44 1874 623613 if you are ordering from Ireland and have any queries about this.

Royal Mail 1st Class deliveries from Aidan Sweeney

Some customers have been double-checking with us about deliveries, as some courier companies used by large retailers have developed backlogs. We always use Royal Mail First Class post for our UK deliveries and so have kept our parcels moving.

I post your parcels personally at Brecon Post Office. We feel this is the best service we can provide for our customers.

You can see the full list of last posting dates for Christmas 2014 in our Useful Information section. For standard First Class UK deliveries before Christmas, we need to receive your order by 3pm on Friday 19th December. Special delivery options are available after this - please phone us first to check before ordering.

Thank you for all the Christmas present orders that have already been placed.
