    I understand that Eric no longer produces/sells houndstooth. Maybe Tony at Autobaun?

    Nothing against Sierra Madre, but I suggest you get samples from a number of outlets as there are some huge variances between cloths sold as the pepita material. Key things to look for are an 80/20 wool/poly mix, correctness of pattern and a 690gm/m2

    Expect to pay more for the good stuff - I understand Eleven Parts has a good replica although I have not seen a sample.

    Cheers,
