      If I want to get myself a nice grey tweed herringbone MTM jacket in IH quality (or, as close as I can get), where do I go? I would rather not pay more than 500-600 USD, is that even possible?

        What style of jacket? I have used these guys and can't recommend them highly enough: http://www.bookster.co.uk/Tweed/index.html

        I had them make me a brown herringbone Harris tweed hacking jacket and it turned out beautifully. Can take some pics if that's the kind of thing you're after.

          I'm looking for a tweed jacket I can combine with dark denim, a pair of nice leather boots and a nice shirt for meetings and similar stuff. Something like this for instance:

          http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=31271875

          So your link seems to be spot on! I like to mix denim with classic british tweed. Thanks a bunch!

          And if you could post images, that would be great.

            Yup - right up their alley. I have a deep, deep love of tweed and denim. Separately or together. Must be something about traditional workwear materials that makes them work well together  🙂

              Looks really good! What fabric is that? one of their grey herringbone?

                Brown actually although that's hard to tell from the pics. Just looked at their cloth choices page (http://www.tweed-jacket.com/CLOTH%20PAGE/CLOTH%20GALLERY/index.htm) and it seems they aren't doing the brown Harris Tweed herringbone atm.

                                most of them are designed to be used as striking tools in a self defense situation.

                                    I actually like some of the benchmade ones, industrial, non-nonsense design. Not even close to being in the same division (or meant to be) as more dainty pens of course.

                                    Oh, and:

                                        I think tac.pens are meant to be used like kubotan. and now YOU use google. I'm not going to write an article here. 🙂

                                          i know what a kubotan is, but in pen form, just not sure how effective it would actually be
