Really tempted by those chocolate suede Jodhpurs. Never owned a pair and am very intrigued. Now if only I didn't have presents to buy...

Is Harris Tweed a good brand?

Harris Tweed is one of the more popular tweed makers. I'm not sure of the construction of the jacket, but if that is really Harris Tweed it is a steal.

They probably heard Tweedy on Styleforum was killing it so wanted to step in and steal a piece of the action.

Harris Tweed is one of the more popular tweed makers. I'm not sure of the construction of the jacket, but if that is really Harris Tweed it is a steal.

I called around and found a store near me (North Brunswick, NJ on Rt 1). 3 different patterns, side vents, plastic buttons, I found S, R, and L lengths. Fabric was excellent, and I would have possibly bought all 3 patterns if the fit didn't suck. I couldn't find a single size that fit me in the shoulders. I'm usually a pretty reliable 40R, but the 40Rs had a big divot between the shoulder padding and my actual shoulder/arm. Oddly enough, both the 42R and 38R fit me better in the shoulders which makes no damn sense. All sizes had a weird wrinkle in the fabric running from my right shoulder towards my chest. My hunch is the left didn't have it due to the added weight of the breast pocket.

The fabric was really nice though! I bet they tried a new manufacturer to make the SCs and they messed up a dimension or something. Rather than write off the whole thing they added plastic buttons and dumped them on Walmart. It seems like the angle between the end of the shoulder and the bottom of the armpit is off or something. I have 2 SCs at the tailor now and I really don't want to deal with another tailoring bill so I passed. If you can get a good fit in the shoulders OTR with these they really are a steal and you should consider grabbing all 3.
