There is a coupon "Clear912" that is good for an additional 30% off clearance and, oh, look, the $5 a yard wool is on clearance.  How about that?

Yes, most of the colors are yuck but it's wool.  Anything can be dyed black.  There are enough "natural" or "oat" colors that can easily take pretty much any color you can throw at it.  So, just in case you didn't get enough wool the past couple of times.... ;D

In all of your professional opinions, would any of these look good for a middle class outfit "straight off the bolt" without dying or anything like that?  Obviously I would stay away from the pinstriped fabrics, but would any of the other weaves look ok?  I don't want to look like I cut up a business suit to make a doublet   ;D

I am looking at this one for a new ensemble for m'lord - he LOVES orange, and this is a decent compromise in my books. Am thinking Doublet & Paned slops. What do you think? 4 yards or 5? Will be prewashing!

Was also looking at this for a Medieval style hood

Too modern? I dont have the facilities to dye.

Did anyone get the coupon code to work yet? It said it was invalid when I tried.
