Dear Lesli
...Here's what I found out today:<br /><br />Dear Lesli<br /><br /> <br /><br />Unfortunately the Mey Tweed Waistcoat is not made the UK but overseas, neither the cloth or the capacity to produce the volumes we need are available in the UK.<br /><br /> <br /><br />I am pleased to hear that you like the quality of our brand as we try to offer the best quality we can at an affordable price.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Thank you for your interest in Hoggs of Fife.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Kind regards<br /><br /> <br /><br />CarlynLesli Larsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13008748945065043600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21561568.post-17610109734538474442010-10-06T13:52:52.798-07:002010-10-06T13:52:52.798-07:00Lesli, I emailed them last year, to ask about wher...Lesli, I emailed them last year, to ask about where and from what they make their clothing(specifically their cords) and got this reply: "We do not normally quote the country of origin for garments and boots as we have more than one supplier for some products. However I can say that the cord trousers are not made in the UK, but they are made in an EC member country in Europe."<br /><br />I find the "more than one supplier"-bit disappointing since I thought they were their own suppliers. <br /><br />That being said, I love the Archival Clothing blog, have for years.

The Beretta and the Purdey have no articulated collar and thus are more functional. Great post but made me start looking to buy stuff....which is the last thing I need to do when it comes to shooting apparel.Main Line Sportsmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11303248738216839079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21561568.post-66697356596990838642010-09-27T09:57:32.216-07:002010-09-27T09:57:32.216-07:00MLS--
