I have a similar thrifted Harris Tweed that is my "winter blazer." These things are indestructable, go with everything, and keep you warmer and drier than most modern synthetics. I am thinking of adding a throat latch to mine because I wear it so much as outerwear when others have broken out the trench coat, etc. Not to be too catty, but your other grey tweed looked a bit like a suit jacket.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-81946062483529466382008-10-30T10:23:00.000-07:002008-10-30T10:23:00.000-07:00are you familiar with Freemans Sporting Club?

Way way way too expensive, they charge a lot for the benefit of having a shopping experience that all of our fathers and grandfathers would have had everytime. Made in USA sold in USA and old fashioned working clothing. Anyway they sell a tweed coat completely unlined, which is worth looking at, it fits well considering the way it is manufactured. Peter K owns one if you want to check it out, he lives like a half a mile from you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-56316569843386801572008-10-30T08:07:00.000-07:002008-10-30T08:07:00.000-07:00This is the very same jacket that I bought as a co...This is the very same jacket that I bought as a college freshman in 1961.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-66675503780221915272008-10-30T07:06:00.000-07:002008-10-30T07:06:00.000-07:00Matt,No floating canvas on this one.

Pinch between the button holes and see if you feel three layers or just two?<BR/><BR/>I'm an amateur tailor so I'm curious.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
