OK, I can't get LL's houndstooth Shetland out of my mind. It seems like a beautiful cloth, but I'm unsure whether the scale is a touch too big. Is it, or am I just being wimpy?

This feels more wearable

big

Ha, thanks everyone. Big it is.

I've seen it in person and didn't think it was too big. Although I preferred the herringbone and remain disappointed that one didn't get made up.

The herringbone is much more common. You haven't seen any alternatives in the books that you liked?

Someone sell me the LL houndstooth shetland. Thx.

Divot!

One of my mistakes in life was ordering a brown houndstooth tweed jacket. Never wore it, never will.

I didn't want to say for fear of starting a ruckus.

I have one. I love the cloth. The cut is not longer my taste but I can't find the same cloth. If I could, I would get it remade. It's much nicer than any other I have ever seen.

At what point did you realise that?

Eventually I did but I would have preferred the LL version.

Parker (I think it's Parker) has a really nice brown herringbone, I believe from P&H. Nice, rich, and dark. The photo has floated around here a few times. You didn't like that one, David?

Hmm that might have been what I ended up with, not sure. I chose it out of the sheet Steed had.

when I first put it on. Unlike the worsted gun club that I have, that took me a bunch of wearings before I realized that I hated it.
