I have always wanted a Russell check jacket. But it’s near impossible to wear down under

I always thought the lyrics to old town road was “take you home...till the cows come home” rather than “ride till I can’t no more”I always thought the lyrics to that song were go go jason waterfalls until semi-recently

Dear Sir, do you the following fabric by Fox , would bemore suitable for a Balmacaan ? Thank you.I have a sport coat in that cloth. Not from Lovat, but a Russell check. I like it partly because it's associated in my mind with an author I really like. But I find it somewhat difficult to wear -- sort of horse blankety, a bit yellow, and maybe a bit too old school for my taste. I don't think it's a bad cloth, but I do think it's particular and somewhat hard to wear.
As a coat, I would find it too much. For a Bal, I would just go with a more subtle pattern -- a chunky herringbone, a large scale brown/ black houndstooth tweed, maybe even a Donegal.

Thank you for your reply . I see this is a shetland wool . Do you think it is a fabric , similar to the Marling Evans Natural Colection? Thank you.I have that swatch here. Personally, I would want a darker fabric because I think it would be easier to wear. But if you're interested in a tan coat, I think it could be a good option.

Thank you.I've only handled a couple of fabrics in that collection and they were jacketings, not coatings. Unfortunately can't say since didn't handle the coatings.
You can purchase swatches from Fox, however. They're like $2 or so. You can purchase them off the website.
