It's TWEED Season!

[ItalianStyle]

Have put this up before, but deserves a second shot; for the subtle plaid, the lining and the mannequin-less pose. And the monogram on the bag pocket.

I do like that jacket a lot, but I haven't had the need to have my name on any article of clothing since kindergarten

They are quite easily found on many of the British websites. Cordings, House of Bruar, etc.
Just google British shooting coats and many sites will pop up, even some ebay offerings.
The prices range from reasonable to off the charts. Many brands, have fun.

Thanks. I was looking for that specific one. I have more British tweed than will fit in a single closet

Join the club, amazing how we can amass clothing to the point of closets bursting.

He's definitely in the right place since he's obviously in need of a haircut. But the zippered cardigan can go.

It seems there's a thing going on against zippered cardigans. Others here have reacted similarly. Some of my favorite makers sell these, Bean, Bauer, Deluth, Orvis. I mention those as I own zips from each. Compared to a regular cardigan, or even a shawl, zips give you an instant turtle neck. Or not. And you don't have to pull it over your head. I hate pulling things over my head. Or over anybody's head, which law enforcement continually cautions me not to do.

Hmm. I’m all about the zip. Followed by its cousin the quarter zip. But the full zip is such a great travel companion and versatile thing just everyday. A sweater is on or off. A zip is everything in between. The cashmere flavors from Derek Rose get a lot of service here. As does the no longer made but should design from Barbour, wind proof, waterproof inner but very nice wool exterior. I’m wearing an alpaca variant as I write. They migrate often out of my closet to hers.

Count me as a fan of zippered cardigans. I like to emulate the style of the late, great Fred Rogers, AKA: Mister Rogers. I have several, having picked up additional options during Brooks Brothers recent sales.

Very nice tweed...I really like those side adjusters on the waist. Don't see many trousers with those these days.

Over the years, I've only owned a few pants like that, but if I ever do MTM again, any suit pants or dress trousers will have them as I really like them.

Church finally opened again so I broke out a suit. Surprise, I can still button my year-old dress shirts and my jacket and vest. It felt so good putting it on, I'm still wearing it. It has made me a greater fan of suspenders than ever. I need to buy a couple more sets. Side adjusters simply don't do it for me.

Tweed days are now behind me til fall as we've been in the 80's lately.

We still probably have another month to go though it could be a bit longer. High today is 65º.

I’m going to miss the chill of tweed season. We’re heading into the too-warm-for-furnace-too-cold-for-a/c season. That’s bad news when you work from home, and can’t open the windows because of the construction noise of the massive condo being built right behind your property. Come back tweed season!
