A Trad "What are you Wearing"

[Flairball]

These are great! Can you please tell us about the jackets?

Glad you like it.

I’m afraid I don’t have much info about that jacket. It is a very heavy Harris Tweed, and obviously it is a patch pocket 3 button, but I don’t know anything else. It does not have any indication of the maker, or any labels other than the HT orb in side.

I do a lot of thrifting, and this was a thrift score. Sorry I haven’t got more info for you.

Very nice. I always keep any eye out for HT while thrifting but have yet to find one.

Never found a Harris tweed thrifting either. Bought my only one from eBay. Only time I've bought vintage from them. Was in nearly new condition though style appeared to be from the 60's.

Today, all Bean:
sweater made in Ireland, Shetland with all the correct details; when bean was good it was very good!
Bean boots, socks, country cords and OCBD. Now that I think about it, the down parka is also Bean.

I think @fred johnson and I dressed exactly the same today! I bought a couple of pieces from the O’Connell’s sale recently. New Shetland and pair of cords.

Posting yesterday’s casual rig. Today I shall not bore you with the very unexciting uniform I am forced to tolerate.

That's a very cool Blackwatch cardigan or vest.

I , for one, have a great deal of respect for that uniform and what it represents.

Yes, after you posted a picture of yours late last year, I had to get it. I love the color!

It warmed up nicely here, today. No outer wear covering everything up. Just tweed and moleskin on a sunny day.

101st Infantry.

101st Infantry.

The lapel pin is from the 101st. Sadly, at the time I did not know that. I was a Coastie, as was my grandfather. I found this amongst a bunch of his CG memorabilia which was left to me. Bearing the ”Semper Paratus” motto, which is of course the CG motto, I assumed it to be an obscure CG pin. I found out that evening that it was actually the 101st, so I have retired it with much of the other memorabilia. Too bad, it’s quite a nice design.

 

[Flairball]

Another tweed kind of day.

Brook Taverner. I believe they’re having a pretty good sale, right now, too.

Thanks, they have a lot of nice colorways. How have yours held up thus far?

I’ve only started wearing BT tattersalls about 6 months ago. So far they are holding up as good as any other. What they do have is really soft, comfortable shirting material. I’ll buy from them again when I need to add more shirts.
