Thank you! Said errant raincoat will soon find a new home in rainy Massachusetts.

That thing has been tempting me for months and I have very few viable excuses to get another raincoat, so thank you for that.

The Ulster will be in Donegal tweed again this year.

Maybe a totally bonkers idea, but would a BLACK tweed for this coat work do you think? Maybe with light brown secondary colors, or even just simply white flecks.

Just a weird thought.

Sure it would, yes — that would be great.

However, for the shades and flecks of yarn that go into each Donegal tweed, each mill has its own set of recipes, and I must admit I've never a combination quite like you describe.

Something like https://www.sehkelly.com/watch-cap-in-donegal-merino-lambswool-in-rook/, do you mean?

That example in a coat would be a thumbs up from me too!

And it's certainly not a million miles away from my own preferences!

Not a recipe of yarns that I have yet encountered, however.

On a related note, we have been exploring different styles of tweed from the Scottish Borders — similar weights and feels to the heavy Donegal tweed we use for the balmacaan and Ulster, but all with its very own distinctive Scottish Border tweed appearance. Hopefully one or two of them will make themselves known next year for one or two of the heavier coats.

Exactly that, yes! Would be so cool!

I think I saw a Harrington jacket mentioned somewhat recently. Would you have any photos to share?

WOW! do you have any pictures of a model wearing the jacket?

Thanks!

Glad you like it. We will have some photographs a la model in a few weeks, all being well.

Yessir — they are lurking as "works in progress" at https://sehkelly.com/harrington and will be available in a few days.

In fact, when I said "a few days", I meant "right this second".

And a few photographs of the new capital-H Harrington ...

If anyone is interested, I just posted a size Large Olive Corduroy work jacket and a Charcoal 6-ply turtleneck, size medium, to Grailed. Both pieces from several seasons ago.

HI, Paul. Question about the Safari jacket. Is the belt attached to the jacket or removable? Thanks

The belt can, but there are two belt loops which would need to be unpicked. They would in all likelihood leave behind a mark no matter how carefully they were removed.
