Hi folks. Thanks for a very interesting thread. I'm currently checking out options for buying tweed / tartan in the UK, so this has been helpful. (Although I am somewhat overwhelmed, even limiting myself to weavers in Scotland / Yorkshire).

I think there was a question about whether Andrew Elliot is available to buy direct from the weaver - and I think they might. They list a price per metre for all their fabrics, and I think their Stock Estate Tweed is their heavy weight option (100% new wool, 150cm wide, £60 per metre.)

There isn't an option to "add to shopping basket", but their Contact Us page invites emails if you're interested in buying.

I hope this is helpful. I'm very new here, so certainly not trying to teach experienced hands how to suck eggs
