They have some beautiful patterns, but after getting my 430g Fox faux tweed sport coat, I'm a bit hesitant in going that heavy again. I always end up sweating in my armpits when I wear it indoors. I'm likely going with something lighter from Sherry Tweed or the Worsted Alsport (I think this one might be too smooth to be called tweed?) books next.

I agee, I don't sweat in mine at the same weight.
But it is a bit heavy for Northern California
where we have many cool days, but for me,
who stays warm with minimal clothing, eg I wore
a mid weight overcoat once in thirty years,
the next one will be lighter.

He looks very good in that cut.

Wonder what the trousers are made from?

Goodness.

With him, Ambrosi, and whoever makes for NsM, Naples is quite the town for trousers.

I didn't know that there are "Moors" in Denmark for which that suit is designed
Nevertheless, a beautiful example of British "Country "wear.

One fourth of Jutland once consisted of wetlands. Some of the best preserved bog bodies come from there, e.g. the Tollund man. And if I'm right, one of Butler's ancestors even established an open air museum in order to preserve part of the heathland and old town houses that all went lost with industrialization. The suit certainly fits him well.

I guess my eating, drinking, and girl-chasing in Denmark over 50 years ago left little time to
appreciate the topography.
