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

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."
Thank you! It’s that article I read at the time. And Johnstone’s of Elgin rings a bell

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

Just in case anyone else was wanting this tweed…

I contacted Johnstons and unfortunately they aren’t able to sell me any, however, they are being helpful and looking at similar alternatives for me to consider next week
