I thought this was cool.
Marc Chevalier said:No, they're Chilean. The business started out as a tailor shop. Then, early in its history, a tailor accidentally frayed a customer's jacket. Another tailor there --who happened to be Japanese-- took the jacket and rewove the damage beautifully. So impressive was his work that the shop's owner decided then and there to specialize in reweaving, rather than tailoring. More than 80 years later, it is a Chilean institution, used by generations of Santiago residents.

The single-breasted got outta my league in the last 20 mins, whilst I thought I won the double breasted but someone literally sniped it at the last second...seeing the timer reach zero and then a split second later seeing the price jump from 60 to 102 quid...it was a crushing experience..sigh.
Heres hoping it went to a worthy buyer
