What is the difference between Harris and Shetland Tweed?
Is the fibre used? The location where it is produced? The technique applied to the weaving?
Which is coarser?
Thanks in advance.

Lol nailed it.
I say top.
They are reasonable fabrics, priced accordingly. I would certainly put them below VBC in quality, but are serviceable for entry level cloth. I would have no problem wearing a suit made from their cloth as a workhorse. Obviously you would need to be realistic about the quality, as it isnt going to feel like cashmere.Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of Con Fiducia fabrics and their relative quality? A tailor I use in NYC (Sam Wazin) has a Con Fiducia fabric book -- the attached caught my eye, but I'm not familiar with name, and googling didn't turn up much. View attachment 835525

I like moonbeam, but many of the best patterns have run out without any intention for a restock. Same thing is happening to Lamlana. I wonder if this is to push consumers to cashmere, which this emulates for a fraction of the cost.Guess I'm a bit late to post, but with all the talk about Lamlana, wondering why no one mentioned Moonbeam. Same blend (wool/angora) and weight at a lower price. I eventually went with Moonbeam when I debated between the two.
With that said, I'd like to try something from Phoenix one of these days.
Oh, and yes, those Harrison prices posted earlier are nearly 2x as much as their pricelist (w/o VAT).
