Haveing saved and worked the expence with my soon to be wife(the wedding to be the reason) I now get to choose, a sheriffmuir in black wool or midnight blue velvet. Under artifical light black has a greenish hue, midnight blue looks BLACK. The cost difference is noteable,but the care and feeding? how do they wear,last ect... I've seen pics of rabble in wool but not in velvet, Why? Is wool in the long run better for my money?Does velvet not look as good as I think? Is it fragile,weak and hard to care for?For my part it is a couple of hundred dollars diffrence and I want to look almost as good as my girl will,but I plan to have this for a good long time and would like it to be a good investment. I do plan to buy the wool one from Scotweb or the velvet from Highland clans who I have had good dealings with.

thanks in advance
Andy
