It was 92 fahrenhiet today in sunny California today, so my thoughts naturally turned to my winter gear :shock: I have a much loved welsh shirt by Melin Teifi that has served me well for almost 25 years. Good commercial woolens over here are disappearing or being churned out in Red China. Filson is still excellent, the famed Pendeltons and Woolrich stuff now gone to China. Are there any makers of commercial woolens over there? I still fancy climbing the Himalayans in Harris tweed or Dachstein kit.
