I like the belted look but not that crazy about elbow patches. Though, decades ago did own a tweed with them. I gave away several tweeds many years ago when I grew out of them. If I'd known I'd eventually lose all that weight years later, probably would have hung on to them
Love that jacket-and the dog's cap. Have a thing for tweed flat caps.
Had never heard of the brand before. Bought my only Harris tweed from eBay.
So do I. I am the RogerP of flat caps.
That particular Tweed could stop an RPG, but sadly...it is not a southern tier jacket!
I had a similar experience recently with Royal Tenenbaums (admittedly one of my favorite movies) playing silently in the background and noticing Gene Hackman’s herringbone covert coat:
That's a cool coat. I've never seen a tan collar on a herringbone coat - kinda like a chesterfield, but those contesting collars are usually black velvet.
Thank you, Fading Fast! If you'd like to send me a picture of you wearing it I'd love to feature you in the "Real People, Real Clothes" series that I have on my Facebook page, WaterhollowTweed..... which is where I migrated after the old Thrift Exchange was closed!
Thank you for the offer. Let me think about it.
The colors of the Turtle neck and the Jacket work well together, however, the heft of the sweater seems to be overpowering the sizing of the jacket...yes, no?
I agree and think part of it is the ridiculous overly slim tailoring of almost everything today. I never had a problem with a chunky sweater under a Tweed sport coat until the more recent trend of cutting jackets much slimmer. And, yes, the colors go well together.The colors of the Turtle neck and the Jacket work well together, however, the heft of the sweater seems to be overpowering the sizing of the jacket...yes, no?
