velvet or wool?

[piperdbh]

I have seen Mr. Newsome in a less formal sheriffmuir (tweed, I think) that looks great and can be worn more frequently than the velvet.

I have seen and handled Matt's Harris tweed Sheriffmuir and it is heavy! He wears it for day wear sometimes and it looks really sharp. Too bad that's not what this thread is about.

I have a piece of black wool suiting that I keep threatening to make a Sheriffmuir from, but if I'm going to have one, I don't want it to look homemade, which my creations tend to do.
