Harris Tweed sports ...

[mikepara]

just to clarify, I'm not after info on the Tweed jacket as such but:

Photo's or drawings, or catalogue/ magazine entries on variations of dress with the jacket. I want to start wearing these beasts but am not sure what to match them with and would like a heads up. MP

Tweed Jackets

Slightly off topic but I posted pix of a few Irish ones a short while ago.

Orvis usually has authentic Harris Tweeds in the fall and winter.

Oh no...

I tried a search for Tweed Jacket. That wasn't much help 20 pages of miscellaneous stuff with the odd mention of Tweed in the odd post, or pictures of Tweed jackets.

Its the ensemble I was after. I was just hoping some of you lads with encyclopedic minds would offer a link to a post or a website.

Can't offer you any help with directions to a website or catalogue but, unless I've misinterpreted your question, how about the following: depending on jacket colour grey flannels or a light colour cavalry twill trouser with good quality, Goodyear welted, brown brogues. You can team this with a wool/cotton mix tattersal check shirt and restrained woollen tie and be on your way to the "39 Steps" in no time. For Scotland in the winter a decent pair of moleskin trousers (Glengarnock or some such) and a moleskin waiscoat might also be worth considering.

Thats on the right track.

Cheers H35 that's a starter for 10. :eusa_clap

OK, so I guess the next question is whether you want to achieve 'the look' using vintage clothes or whether you'd be content with the traditional 'English Country Gent' image using contemporary attire - for which there are any number of suppliers. Whatever, it might be worth looking in your local shooting shop for some inspiration - traditional grouse shooting clothes haven't changed much in the last 120 years! Look at the Glengarnock website..........

"Farmer John...

I'm in love with your daughter." Sang The Premiers. Thats as near as I want to come to farmers.

I was thinking more, college, (preppy is it?) school tweed, than River Tweed.

Still I own cavalry twills and cords, and do live in the country. :eusa_doh:

OK. Good luck.
