Maybe they will show up in 1833 this weekend!

I checked out the local WalMart (and remembered why going into WalMart on a Saturday the week before Christmas is not a great idea) in the off chance some of these may have made their way north. No such luck. As Tess mentioned, there was plenty of camouflage, in several different patterns I might add, but no Harris Tweed.

Made the trek into the local Wally World, braving the Chrismas shoppers, just to have my hopes dashed.
no Harris Tweed available here in the southeast of Colorado.
But then again, I didn't expect much from the local rural store.

I went into the local Walmart here in El Paso thinking "no way, only kilties wear wool in El Paso". But there they were. They look like they are very well tailored and it is indeed Harris Tweed. Do I need another jacket...... oh crickey, they're only $74.94. What to do, what to do??

El Paso!? That's like selling sombreros and serapes in Inverness. Well, I guess a serape is a bit like a Mexican plaid.
The good news is that they are getting closer to Los Alamos every day. Let's see. El Paso is about a six-hour drive. Not too bad, but the gas would cost more than the jacket! Maybe I'll wait until they diffuse into Albuquerque.
I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

The Walmart in York County, VA has the tweeds in stock. I was able to find a green/oatmeal mix in my size. I wished they had a blue weave in my size, but hey at least I was able to get one.

I checked here in Inidiana as well , no luck either . Of course the Walmarts around here don't tend to carry TCHD , just TRHD ( traditional redneck highland dress ) .

I'd have thought the same, being here in the backwoods of the Midlands of South Carolina but we do have them. Just none in my size that SWMBO (She Who Must Be Obeyed) approved of. So, we have a trip planned to head to another WM to see if they have one that she would approve of.
