I've chosen several things for my husband as well, he is a Brora fan too. He wore those Brora linen trousers all summer long and raved about the comfort. I found the fit very alluring on him, they are really cut to flatter the male form! I'd like to buy the cashmere dress and finally get one of the hoodies for each of us this year too. The heritage collection doesn't really speak to my style and I have more than enough tweeds and plaids at the moment but I can certainly see you in it Dani. xoxohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12336645422459479330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3818151513249030194.post-77009104092927470512013-10-04T08:49:47.710-04:002013-10-04T08:49:47.710-04:00Hi L, I've also bought Brora tights.

Mine typically last 2 years before they need replacing, I bought 3 pairs last autumn and I don't need to buy any this year. They are surprisingly sturdy despite the lacy pattern, and so warm. Hand wash them with other cashmere and hang them up to dry. I'm wearing socks over them in my boots this winter to see if I can get more wear out of them, typically the heel will wear out first (though not in a soft shearling boot). I'd like to get 3 winters out of each pair, we'll see!DaniBPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02633155240779845497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3818151513249030194.post-64546019587021682112013-10-04T08:10:40.243-04:002013-10-04T08:10:40.243-04:00Gorgeous colors!

You know I loved the hacking jacket and fair isle cardi - I think I might have had a cardi just like that in 1981 - would be so awesome with the red hair!!! I love the kilt, but really need to have one made again in the McLeod tartan - as do you Byrnna - we had them when I was kids, and they are still so well made - my kids wore them to my brother's wedding! Oh and I like the goat, too!<br /><br />I think Kate Spade is reading your blog - the just released The Portrait of a Lady and The Age of Innocence in their clutch connection. Either that or they are reading my goodreads book list as I read them both this year!WendyMcLeodMacKnighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830981147524921562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3818151513249030194.post-15777059618158882102013-10-04T05:57:09.294-04:002013-10-04T05:57:09.294-04:00I need to have a look ASAP, but I am so sure it w...I need to have a look ASAP, but I am so sure it will trigger some strong wishes!

I would also love to go to a store. Next summer we are doing a big walking holiday in the Yorkshire Dales, I don't think I'll be very close to a store but I'm planning a day trip anyway. Of course you know our Mr BP The Shopper will agree as well!<br />I haven't purchased any of the Heritage pieces or the fall line but I did just buy a Brora Harris Tweed for MrBP as a gift, it's gorgeous, he's going to love it.

We use to take the kids to Sarasota to visit my parents and we would shop at Crew for Harris Tweed. Now that I've found Brora I've found my groove again. <br />I just wish the stores were closer as I love to go with you and we could hold each other up ! Tabs would have to do an intervention.
