Just got the Lovat moleskin as well and think it's great. I just realized that I had a total brainfart and ordered the slim fit instead of the contemporary fit. It'd be fine if I never button up my jacket; but it feels too tight in the stomach area with it buttoned. So I'll see if I can do an exchange.

How do you feel about it as a three season jacket? It's pretty thick; but since it's cotton, I'm thinking it should be ok.

I'm not sure, it's pretty thick and all the brushing of moleskin won't allow it to breathe like other forms of cotton. I guess spring mornings/evenings would probably be ok.

New Lovat moleskin and navy tweed arrived. I need to see the navy slub before I decide if I'm keeping the tweed.

Trying to decide on the brown tweed jacket -- does anyone recall how the weight of this Moon tweed compares to the upcoming donegal/tweed Neapolitan cut jacket?

Wait hold up there's an upcoming jacket in a different cut / material? I must be out of the loop, I don't see it mentioned in the thread?

It's been talked about lots. Brown Donegal in the Neapolitan cut, vs this brown merino tweed in standard cut

Which jacket would be the best to get as a standard navy blazer alternative? I admit the usefulness of a navy blazer but I really want one that I can dress down much more and isn't as ubiquitous. Stuck between the moleskin, merino tweed, and the upcoming E.Thomas slub...

Oh man, I can't wait to get that donegal in the rotation. I just hope it's not too thick and the fit is thrown off.

I went through the same dilemma and I am still waiting to see the slub. The clear moleskin choice for me was new lovat since I knew I wanted it wear mostly with denim. When I threw on the tweed with denim yesterday I was quite pleased with how it looked, I wasn't really thinking of it for that but the fabric has enough texture to seem to work. From a versatility standpoint the tweed is going to be the winner of the three. I can see it with chinos, wool trousers, and denim without it looking out of place. That being said I can't quite bring myself to take the tags off until I see that slub made up, it might be amazing.

I second the question. More specifically, what will look best with:

• dark denim;
• blue or brown cords;
• grey flannel?

Brown tweed. ^

I think the best option for a Navy blazer alternative would be to determine which color would best fit into your wardrobe -- brown or grey. And I'll assume this is probably for Fall/Winter.

Grey would be best if you wear a lot of blues - Grey tweed.

Brown would probably work better if you wear more earth tones. - Brown moleskin/tweed.
