It may be worth remembering in days of old a Tweed jacket and breeks were used as cammo , when shooters stood out on the moors their pattern and colour of tweed was designed to blend in with the heather colouring on that moor . Nothings new just different .

Re: Dress impressions
I read somewhere that one of the reasons tweed works so well as camo is the "depth" of the colour - a sort of 3d effect.Dave 101 wrote:It may be worth remembering in days of old a Tweed jacket and breeks were used as cammo , when shooters stood out on the moors their pattern and colour of tweed was designed to blend in with the heather colouring on that moor .

If anybody is near Frome it's worth a visit as the website only shows a tiny proportion of what he holds.

I AM NOT A POSH t*@t! I was brung up round the back of British Leyland, fed on Birds Eye frozen food and went to a comprehensive school yet I have a golf buggy!
My whole lifestyle is being questioned and I am now suffering a serious identity crisis - I may have to get professional help and sue someone
Brilliant - well done to whoever did it.
BTW Iain has fluffy camo slippers - can I still allow him to wear them?
Love
Karen (definitely not a posh t*@t)
