I'm not sure this is tweed. It might be heavy flannel.
Fall is coming.
I love love love this one. Is that a herringbone? I tried zooming in but can't quite make it out. An awesome jacket in any event. I have a grey/taupe herringbone with center vent that comes off as this shade. I wish it had an action back like this. I even like the elbow patches. I think they add a lot of character to tweed.Continuing with our periodic look at Tweed in the comic strips of the '30s and '40s, here's one from "Sparky Watts." Looks to me like a rough hewn Tweed half-belted back sport coat.

Oh, I and I think the patches work really well on it too.
