arrrghhh... B Black & Son!
I drove up to the Fabric District of Los Angeles (blocks of fabric shops) looking for some nice tweed for a new waistcoat.
Of course B Black & Son is THE place, because all they do is men's suitings, and suit-making materials.
The salesman took me up the stairs, to a whole room of woolens, rack after rack, and waved his hand at a 6-foot-long empty place on one of the racks, and said
"Two days ago that was full of Harris Tweeds. Then some guy showed up and bought them all."
Thus ended my tweed-buying expedition.
Wonder how much the "guy" spent, on, what? twenty bolts? of Harris Tweed, and what he was going to do with them.
