Re: House of Edgar tweed question
The Bookster swatches arrived yesterday; another instance of a vendor willing to go well above and beyond in the customer service department! 
Of the batch it looks like the best match is the Sporting Green tweed, which is a near match to the hue of the jacket fabric but a bit darker and more saturated. It might end up being "close enough" but it's not really ideal.
The Country Herringbone was also close, but more of a celery green hue -- a bit "yellower" in complexion than the jacket.
As an aside, does anyone know where to source swatches of Magee's "Celtic Tweeds"? I love the look and feel of their lambswool tweeds, but Bookster has limited colors; I'd be interested in seeing what the rest of their range is like.
