Instakop or not....

I would not have waited as long as it took to post.

 

[Thanks SF (a new me)]

besides Cords, flannels, (and jeans ), what other trouser materials are appropriate pairing for a 15oz Harris Tweed SC ? Thanks

Just curious, but where do you guys get these fine display models to show off your jackets?  Are they on ebay?  Do you hunt down men's stores about to close?  I'd like one.

Ours is an old 1960s vintage tailors dummy but you can buy new ones on ebay

I am just adding more in various sizes so keep an eye on the website

posted these in the unfunded thread but for you tweedbois, H&S sherry tweeds, some of these patterns (2nd pic) I really love and will be ordering a few:

Ed, what are you making? Love the top four patterns (PoW & Hounds tooth) on the right.

Harris Tweed:

It's a nice enough jacket, but I love that tie.

I just received 3m of Gala tweed from Lovat Mill (see pic) with plans for a 3/2 SC inspired by Spoo & Butler. Would patch pockets (with a welt breast pocket) be overkill with such a powerful cloth?

Not to my eye. So stunning a tweed fairly screams a need for pockets as you describe. If you were too shy for the pockets you'd never have ordered that cloth in the first place. Carry on, that man!

I would support a nomination of that tweed as the Official Tweed of Style Forum

yeah, those four are great but they are all really nice, my pics are awful and you need to see them up close to appreciate the colors/patterns. I'm ordering about 6-8 of them, here are better pics:
