Hoping someone can help identify where the tweed Aston have used in the recent Valour comes from... i read it in an article somewhere whennthey first release but cant now remember where.
I've emailed AMW NP and even been in but they apparently don't know and cant find out... I even met with their trim shop manager to find out and after a few frustrating emails back and forth he apparently cant find out, although i suspect he's just probably not allowed to tell me for some reason.
So anyway, if anyone knows would be much appreciated!
The tweed I'm looking for is the same one in the press car / review pictures on pistonheads today.
For those wondering why.... no, its unfortunately not shooting breeches to match my valour...its potentially to create some seat centres for my carbon lightweight seats in my V12V...ala Porsche houndstooth style

You need someone like Simon Cundy of Henry Poole. He is a tailor and a car enthusiast, also a member of the Royal Automobile Club. He might recognise it, or know where to start.
If it’s tweed then there’s a good chance it’s from Harris https://www.harristweed.org/or, perhaps more likely, someone like Lovat https://lovatmill.com/ who do a lot of bespoke work (and can also add other yarns to increase durability, which you could see being relevant for automotive product).
I do like a challenge so after a bit of googling:
https://www.astonmartin.com/en/our-world/news/2023...
says it is
"or a choice of Johnsons of Elgin tweed and cashmere fabrics for the seats and headlining."

I wonder if they invented a supplier, or they actually meant Johnstons?https://www.astonmartin.com/en/our-world/news/2023...

Poofreading is a lost art.Except the captions which are evidently automatically generated called it a 'Sopwith Puff'. In about 20 years everything will have been changed by these AI Chinese whispers and that is how people will learn wrong and spell wrong.

Thank you! It’s that article I read at the time. And Johnstone’s of Elgin rings a bell https://www.astonmartin.com/en/our-world/news/2023...

I’ll let Aston Martin know for their records….
