Hey guys, I'm looking for a jacket similar to this one by burberry, I really like it but its a bit expensive for me, would anybody have any suggestions at anything similar that costs less than say $800? I had a look at suit supply but most of the similar ones had peak lapels and I'm fairly young so they wouldn't suit me
Any real tweed is going to be warm in that climate. It's made for Scotland, remember. You could check out some of the faux tweeds, Worsted Alsport, etc.
It really depends on where in LA. It gets chilly along the coast, and a tweed jacket isn't too warm for several months of the year. 16 oz is almost certainly overkill, though.
Was hoping someone here could help offer some suggestions. I am Los Angeles and it is pretty warm here throughout the year. Heavy Tweed 16oz is probably much too warm. Any suggestions on tweeds that are lighter or different cloth for pattern below:
You should check Breanish books, there is a pattern very similar to this one at around 10-12 oz weight.
That's exactly the area I'm talking about. I've comfortably worn tweed there in the fall, winter, and early spring.

+1 on the Breanish Tweeds, also Holland and Sherry have a book call Sherry Tweed which is around 10-12 oz.
Minnis lambswool?
You need to drive down the 405 to Costa Mesa. MyTailor.com has their US headquarters about two blocks north of South Coast Plaza. Just go on in and ask Rishi to show you the Holland and Sherry and the W. Bill books of tweed and tell him you want something in the 12-14 oz range. I live in the Long Beach area and I am happy in my tweeds from about Nov. 1 to the end of March. Sometimes even into April. And if you find something you like in 16 oz that you just can't live without, tell him you want it 'buggy lined'. Taking out the lining allows the cloth to breath more easily and makes it a cooler wear. 12-14 oz., I would just have made up in the usual fashion. If you decide you like their choices and prices (which are most reasonable) make sure you have Joe measure you. He's the owner and a master.
Do not be misled by their website. They have an entire wall of suitings samples to choose from. The ones on their website are just the tip of the iceberg.
Already nabbed some Minnis a while back. But thank you.
