Question: Have You Heard Of Lynnfield Fabrics?

This week we received a question about a "Tonetwill By Lynnfield" jacket a man purchased at an area yard sale. Does anybody remember a Boston-based "Lynnfield Fabrics" company?

Earlier this fall, a reader wrote to Lynnfield Patch asking about a movie that he vaguely remembered being shot in town a couple of decades ago. We actually had pretty good luck with that one, and within a day or two, locals had told us about the night a crew was in town around 1989 shooting scenes for the motorcycle movie "Race For Glory." This week, we got another question about something very, very obscure with a possible Lynnfield connection. A man named Ben reports that he just picked up a "Tonetwill By Lynnfield" jacket. The clothing appears to be from around the "mod" phase of the '60s and according to Ben, the only mention of this brand of jacket anywhere online is an old Lynnfield Patch "eBay Report" column where I quipped that it…
