A Trad "What are you Wearing"

[DCR]

Once again you are killing it. That suit looks comfy. Now that I have lost quite a bit of weight I am considering a double breasted chailk stripe suit. I think I owe myself a tweed suit, first, however.

Thank you. I would like to have a tweed suit done up as well. Who are you considering having make it? Andover shop has some very nice bolts of tweed cloth but I'm not sure who is doing their MTM now that Southwick is gone. I assume Hickey Freeman will do it but unsure how closely they are able to replicate Southwick's Douglas pattern.

Today’s rig. Simple and non-serious.

Sadly I don’t have the pocket change to have one made up for me. It’ll have to be off the peg. Fortunately I have a good tailor. Brook Taverner has a tweed suit I really like.

Bring it on. Easy for me to say. I’ll be at work for the entire storm (work 24hr shifts), so my wife will be tasked with the shoveling. Hehehe...

Another cold day, here. Decided to spread out around the colour wheel a bit, today.

I trekked the office today, a good day to break out the tweed given the temperatures. The trousers were a recent eBay find, and they are tapered fairly aggressively. I am not 100% sure if the fit flatters me or not. But they are nice (and warm).

The cold today requires layered knitwear, and utilitarian footwear.

Still pretty cold and snowy after the recent storm so it felt like a shetland kind of day.

Picked up my new (to me) cords at the tailor. Comfy and warm!

Any ideas on the color? The eBay listing had “tan” but this seems more “wheat” or maybe “corn”?

Hi Fred. The coat is made by Hoggs of Fife. The outer is a wool blend. Very tough, and warm. I don’t remember the name of that particular tweed, but I do know it has been discontinued by Hoggs. I’ll try to get you a good pic when I have a chance.
