Despite my hatered for the author, this is not a bad introduction for the beginner:I’ve owned a lot of tweed jackets over the years, of varying weights and densities. I think I’ve come to understand some of the different characteristics- such as Donegal versus Harris. But I’ve never really seen a tweed primer on the different tweed houses and their pros/cons. Does such a thing exist or can one of you outline it here?

Ordered up a little Alsport II yesterday from Poole.
Nice. You like the heavyweights!

Nice. Loud, but nice
If you hang around here enough you will find loud is my raison d'etre.
That Blue P&H Donegal is beautiful, I've been meaning to do it for years. Not sure it would work as just a jacket though, only as a suit, which has put me off 'pulling-the-trigger'.

I have a faux-tweed (light cashmere-silk) SC like that one. Very flexible.It may be shit irl, but S&M’s untweed looks hot here:

Naturally. And a Rolex Day-Date. Though this is certainly my favorite coat of his. I love how he tones it down here with the roll neck (or with a V-neck jumper as above), though I must admit that the PS is too British/toffee for my taste.^
Said was often seen wearing Tweed.
The jois of thrifting..
This jacket came with this repair on the elbow (I was aware of it before buying) but I wonder what your views are on putting an elbow patch in there or just leave it be

You’ve got a bumfreezer right there!Here's a forward fitting for a tweed thing I'm having made. Bit snug round the chest but that's being fixed. I'm okay with having great tits anyway. Tissue is Moons.
I almost picked up this Saxons tweed beast today. Belted action-back, extremely heavy tweed. No context to wear it in, of course, and I'd feel too much like an Austrian hunter even if I did. View attachment 26502
Needs an extra 2" length min.

I would have said the same, but it is keeping in with the current style of short jackets. Also handy with a Barbour as the jacket isn't exposed at the bottom.
I agree that it's a bit short - even if you're a bit short, I still think that the jacket would benefit from being a bit longer. As long as the front is cut away at the bottom, it will still look good at the front and will also look sensible at the rear.
I also think that the buttoning point is a bit too high and that it would benefit from being a bit lower.
Then again, I'm not a tailor, so I could be entirely wrong!
