I am looking for a certain sort of tweed sport coat (I will describe what I am looking for in the next paragraph), but I have not been able to find one to my liking, and I am not sure where I should be looking. I found one that seemed exactly right on one Web source (Walker Slater), but the model was out of stock in my size and has now disappeared entirely. I tried one from Brooks Brothers late in the season last year that might have worked if I could have found the right size, but the model has not come back this year. I have looked at the sites of all the forum sponsors listed in the panel on the right and have not found what I am looking for. Can any Forumites suggest on-line vendors that I should look at?
This is what I am looking for: A sport coat of heavy tweed (I am not adept with gsm figures, but I think 300 and up would be the range); preferably herringbone, but not necessarily; in a very dark color, which could be charcoal or olive, possibly brown, but not blue; three-button closure, or three-rolled-to-two. My upper limit on price would be $500, so I am content with half-canvas construction. Here is a coat on the Walker Slater site that has the sort of weight and design that I am looking for, though the color is too light and it has a check pattern.
