      ^ This dude speaking sense  :o

      Cheers guys, I was 90% Wesco anyway, then saw a pic of some Vibergs which made me reconsider slightly.

        the next pair of boots indigobitch and i have ordered are wescos.

        because:
        the are genius,
        friends are distributing/building them,
        they have the custom thing running,
        and they relay know what they do.

        but,
        i own three pairs of vibergs and they are absolutely great.
        would definitely go for another pair in the future.

        ps: can absolutely recommend engineer boots.

        cheers!

          I know FOXY mentioned this, but these comics were also translated into English, right?.. Under what title?.. I ask because not all albums were translated into Dutch but I would LOVE to read them, so maybe there are English versions!..

              To complete the answer to my previous question, I went with Wesco. Boots have been ordered (thanks G).

                    @Megatron1505:

                    My wife (Pam) is a fully qualified, university educated textile designer, (so it obviously makes sense that she works as a buyer for a toy company). As a hobby and small side business she makes some home wares for people and sells them, things like cushion covers, curtains, quilts, bed runners etc… and she really enjoys it and wants to do more of it. Recently I was looking at a heritage style blanket by a well known manufacturer and she tells me that she would like to make things like that, so we have been looking for material for her to use for some time now with no success.

                    We need a blanket weight wool or wool blend  which is ethically produced and not unfeasibly expensive, some of the Scottish wool mills charge upwards of £200 per meter, any suggestions or pointers would be welcome as we are struggling.

                    Looked at Fairbault Mills? They use vintage looms and make killer wool.

                    Think it, be it.

                      Thanks @mclaincausey , I'll check it out.

                      I begged G into letting me purchase an incoming ahem….."packer variant".

                                      Burgundy sounds nice.
