TWEEDFEST 2018! c. 40, 42. Dove Grey Striped Harris Tweed with FREDERICK FORSYTH connection!

6) Dove Grey Striped Harris Tweed from DiTorio's of Pennington, NJ.

Pennington, NJ, found fame in Frederick Forsyth's novel, *Avenger*, where it was accurately described as a classic Revolutionary War small town, inhabited mainly by old-money families who preferred its quiet to the bustle of nearby Princeton. DiTorio's used to be THE classic old-money clothier of Pennington, specializing, like Langrock, in the Waspy Anglophile Ivy look. DiTorio's is long gone, but some of its wares occasionally surface from the cedar closets that they have been carefully stored in--and this Harris Tweed jacket is a lovely example!

Cut as a contemporary two-button jacket with subtle darts, this is a lovely dove grey Harris Tweed with classic Harris vertical striping in slate and cream, heathered throughout with fleckings of light lichen green. Half-canvassed and half-lined this has a single center vent and three button cuffs. It has very natural shoulders. All of the buttons are metal-shanked leather football buttons. It was, of course, Made in the USA, and is in excellent condition.

Asking just $39, or offer, boxed, shipped, and insured in the USA.
