Hey Guys,

I recently watched a tweed ride trundle through our fair city, and next year I want to be in full costume. Aside from 2nd hand stores, do you know of a manufacturer currently making tweed outfits? Jackets don't seem to hard to come by, it's tke knickers you don't see a lot of...

Thanks!

You might as well go all out and have Martin Tweedy (@ Hampsten) build you a bike too.

It's like a bumblebee ride, but in wool tweed.

Like a naked ride, without the naked?

Perhaps they used to do naked rides in Scotland, which were unsuccessful due to weather, so the Scots invented tweed, creating the tweed ride without the naked.

Thanks for the tips! :)

I'll be sure to take photos when the outfit is complete.
