It crossed my mind last month but ended up acquiring the RTW version for F/W. But the more I look at it, the more I'm liking it. Especially for S/S. It adds yet another dimension with the navy. I'm really tempted to pull the trigger.Interesting--I'd never seen it before and must have missed it. It's really nice.
It also seems kind of rare. It's not often you find a lightweight houndstooth suitable for spring/summer.It crossed my mind last month but ended up acquiring the RTW version for F/W.

It does have the same colour scheme as both the E.Thomas brown gun check and E.Thomas faded gun check which I already have. But as you said, this one is kind of rare...It also seems kind of rare. It's not often you find a lightweight houndstooth suitable for spring/summer.
Not sure about the bottom gun check. I am familiar with the top one and think the houndstooth is different enough for two reasons. First, the top gun check is warm in tone, with a yellowish-brown base. The houndstooth is cooler in tone, with a grayish-beige base. Second, the top gun check is predominantly silk/linen, if I remember correctly. The houndstooth is 100% wool. So it will be a little sleeker, and less slubby. In fact, while the top gun club is pretty much exclusively a S/S jacket, the houndstooth is probably more suitable for year-round wear.It does have the same colour scheme as both the E.Thomas brown gun check and E.Thomas faded gun check which I already have.

You are correct on all points. I'm trying to find a way out, but you're not giving me any option. Enabler...Not sure about the bottom gun check.

So speaking of hang dry, do You spin it or You just remove the access of water by hand?Fit looks good. Minimal shrinkage. I suspect that some people use a different definition of "cold wash" and "hang dry" when they claim excessive shrinkage.
Yeah, what defined a "cold wash"? As per guidance in this thread to cold wash, I set my washing machine to its minimum temp, being 30 degrees, and so far not much shrinkage on a few things. Is there a better way? By hand?Fit looks good. Minimal shrinkage. I suspect that some people use a different definition of "cold wash" and "hang dry" when they claim excessive shrinkage.
Exactly, why not a suit? And so English it's like going back to 10 years ago. It's good that there is an alternative to those wanting more structure but the flap pockets plus the fabric choices killed it. I'd have gotten some if patched.Am I the only one who is not feeling the new padded-shoulder/flap-pocket sportcoats? It's a formal style that doesn't look right in plaid, multicolored fabrics. I'm also not sure of this style more generally. At that point, why not wear a suit? I don't see the need for these kinds of formal English-style sportcoats when the softer, Italian style is so much more attractive and versatile.
are those a pair of sons of henrey?rust donegal in slim 30, wished it was more brighter and orange irl so not sure if keeping. Plus with covid it might be awhile for me to get it altered. But besides hemming any other changes recommended?

Usually by hang dry, if it is a woven material you can place it on a hanger in a room and it will be dry in a few hours. If it is knit, like a sweater or polo, usually better to dry flat. If you wash things in the washing machine, usually the spin cycle gets rid of all the excess water.So speaking of hang dry, do You spin it or You just remove the access of water by hand?
I think better is to say a ‘delicate’ wash. So lowest temperature setting and lowest spin setting. This should clean garment and reduce shrinkage to a minimumYeah, what defined a "cold wash"?
