The world’s most durable and attractive wools and cashmeres hail from the British Isles, in my opinion. Now they are coming as part of a trade delegation to get their piece of the ever more gigantic China market.

As Chinese businessmen learn more about the art of fine dressing, they will demand that their suits be made from brands like Holland & Sherry and Johnstons of Elgin, both part of this delegation. It will be interesting to see whether brands like this can achieve even greater success than they have in Japan. I want to find out how to get hold of some of this fabric, also.
