60 bucks USD is kind of steep for delivery so I would need to be completely sure about whatever I choose to buy. Their prices are pretty reasonable..especially for their lapel vests. Cheapest I've seen thus far at 75 GBP. Know of anywhere else with a better deal than that on quality tweed?

I added the elbow patches. Decided to go light rather than dark brown.

In Dublin for a few days after New Year's and was lucky enough to get in to the Kevin & Howlin sale.
Popped in as I thought I might buy a new cap, but came away with a lovely wool, mohair & cashmere waistcoat by Magee, and two wool ties.
Also got a beautiful tweed jacket for my wife.





Oh, I say. Smashing waistcoat, that man. Well done.

Been a surprisingly cool winter season down here. Have got a fair amount of use out of one of my favorite jackets. Donegal tweed from Oxxford's 1220 line.
