Thanks Paul - didn't know that these holes could disappear. My wife is totally not convinced though - she says the cutting isn't straight at the bottom, the stitching isn't finished off well, and for some reason at one edge they have put a little hem on the bottom and it looks uneven (sorry hard to explain what I mean) - anyway will still be querying it. I was fitted in the edinburgh shop and asked for the heavy weight 16 oz. May be I'm just a typical Scot and want my money's worth which incidentally was nearly £300.
