I was fortunate to meet the designer in Holland in 2007, but it took me over a year to acquire it. At that time it was woven by Locharron, even though 16oz was advertised I don't ever think a run of it in that weight was ever done.
I get compliments everytime I wear it. Nothing wrong with that! I'm kinda OK with the fact that it's hard to get and expensive, we are an elite bunch. ;)
