Lawks, good going Sir! You will not regret the purchase of the Brooks Jersey. I am raising a glass of fine Kentish ale to you as I write this. Perhaps it may be wise to begin setting the alarm a little earlier in the morning, so that you may continue your sleep underneath the letterbox. ‘Mum’s the word’, and all that.

Kind regards,

Martin

Ah, those fine buyers at the Co-Operative have brought Shepherd Neame’s Bishops Finger to this fair county. A rich, fruity bitter with a toffee-like after taste. ‘Tis a common one, I know– but still, rather nice.

Although I have to say that one of my new favourites is from a local micro brewery based in Pontefract, just a couple of miles down the road. A delicious stout (if you like that sort of thing, which I most certainly do) infused with liqourice (which the town is famed for– Pomfret Cakes, you might be familiar with). One to savour, for certain. Although it is only made in small batches, whenever it is on the shelves of the local deli, it is pounced upon with gusto.

Wassail (I do believe that to be a more rural toast),

Glad to be of help, Mr Red– you won’t be disappointed with your Brooks jersey.

Kind regards,

Martin

I cannot predict what might happen with customs and The Royal Mail on your end, but the goods would definitely get to your brother in law in California tax free.  That’s the way it works in the United States, though the evil tax collectors are trying to change it.

I received my Brooks L’Eroica Jersey from Ben’s in Milwaukee, Wisconsin at the middle of last week.  This is the first chance I’ve had to try it on and take some photographs.  Even with my ‘Fat Frank’ waistline an XL is just large enough.  Perhaps having such a fine garmet will give me the initiative to keep slimmed down.

Don,

The jersey is 20 inches across the shoulder seams and 28 inches long (bottom of collar band to the bottom of the jersey).

Probably best to compare the measurments to a sweater you have that fits well.  The best buy at the moment is the XL at $110.
