I have a new Shetland tweed odd jacket cloth offering for the season (it's not suitable for trousers). This is winter weight for the warmer parts of North America, and shoulder season weight for the rest of the continent. 
The design is a classic 8x8 herringbone in olive, the nicest green for men, with a dark red overcheck and a touch of black that makes it easy to wear in town. It is limited availability but can be re-woven in twelve weeks if there are men still standing at the altar after the current supply is sold.
A five meter single width piece (that's the right size for an odd jacket) is $300.00, plus shipping from San Francisco.

who is the weaver
I am interested in using this lightweight tweed for a shirt jacket and living in the styx of Indiana so removed from custom tailors is it possible to have a shirt jacket made from an online order using the shirtmaker you reference in your December 21st blog...I would be honored to hear from you I enjoy your blog immensely
It's the same Scottish weaver that made the last offering for me.
Grant, email me. Hemrajani should be able to make a shirt jacket from measurements you provide.
It's a very similar fabric to my Oxxford hacking jacket. I would post a picture, but I don't think I can.
