Thanks! It's brown with a green-ish cast to it. It's a recent acquisition from a consignment shop which fit right off the rack. I have another, very similar jacket which fit the larger me, and I was lamenting the tentishness of it. Kismet. And, yes, that's the tie.

What size is the bigger jacket? :D

It's probably a 42. The shoulders still fit, though, so I think it's going on the alterations pile.

^^^^ I kind of like the headless mannequin. He looks so calm and collected. As for the red and white herringbone sportcoat, I saw a woman wearing a similar but more vibrantly red fabric as an overcoat. I really like it.

Hooman Majd in a vintage sportcoat (GQ):


Harris Tweed vomited on a bag (Tommy Ton for GQ)---I have a jacket in Harris Tweed almost identical to the lower right!


Is this Wooster? I'm not intimately acquainted with his jaw line (Tommy Ton for GQ again)---my favorite thing about this is the orange knot in the lapel; I actually don't like the tweed on tweed on tweed (particularly the herringbone tie) here, since more varied textures would have been more appealing... not to mention the "sprezzy" unfastened collar tab:
Still trying to find the cloth or a coat like the one in middle (i do not like the bag though)

Lovely shape on the patch breast pocket and lapel roll. I like the soft construction as well.

Just discovered these tweed wallets, made from bits of old tweed jackets:



Made by these people: http://shop.carryjetsam.com/

At only $38, i'm having one, provided they ship to the UK.


I image they would stick in your pocket when you try to put them in and out.

Money is too important to keep anywhere but a brown or black leather wallet.
