New Walmart Offering - Harris Tweed

**OC Richard** · 14th December 12, 06:21 AM

I don't think I've ever been in a Walmart. The city I live in doesn't have one, and I don't know where any are.

If only they had Harris Tweed waistcoats... that's what I really want!

(I did a search just now and there's a Walmart 7 miles away, however in a place where you're more likely to see somebody wearing Kevlar than Harris Tweed)

I just wanted to see the display in front of a roll down prices sign , to see it would be to believe it . just wounding . thank you

Has anyone asked the manager at the how these ended up in his Walmart?

I've been in a few Walmarts during this holiday shopping season. but I have not seen any of these beauties. I'd snap up a gray one in a second. I love the brown herringbone Harris tweed jacket I've had for years. Wearing it right now, in fact.

OK. I went back today and will post the requested photo with Walmart signage behind. After one more look, I said heck with the budget and bought the Biege/Barleycorn flecked jacket. What finally sold me on it (for possible conversion) was the double vent which I had not checked before.

I checked my local WalMart and (drum roll please) Yes, we have them too. I wonder how good I've been this year...

Bill: Lucky guy! Good for you. Maybe Walmart is test marketing them in select stores. I recommend that you and Kevin buy up the whole lot, so they'll offer them in stores closer to the rest of us.
