Well done! Classic cloth and it's a good fit. Personally, I'd match the buttons.

That looks great, I've been searching for something similar myself. I think It's a lot closer to the early 60's than the seventies, specially since it has relatively slim lapels, although others could confirm or deny this. The fit is amazing, btw!

Most Harris tweed jackets I've seen with that button stance and lapel style have dated from the late '70s-'80s. The lining and tags could tell more.
 
This crossposted from the "British" thread.

This one is cut just like a Harris Tweed jacket I have that's dated 1943. This is made of very heavy wide-wale corduroy. I can see why the seller thought it was from the 1970s!

Couple of jackets I got off eBay. Seller said they were '20s-'30s era, I'm thinking late '30s at earliest. No union tags on either jacket unfortunately, so that adds to mystery of their age.

Thanks gents. Glad you like it.

It's about a size 36-37. It's not really long (28.5" down the back), it's just that the arms are a bit shorter than normal. I had them shortened very slightly, but the fabric's still there. They were always short, max around 23" from the shoulder.

It does look long, though, I agree. All down to the cut.

The Gaylord is interesting, a little boxy and wow, those pockets look huge. what's the time period for this one? The Haspel double breasted is sweet. This one must be one of those 'odd' jackets they speak of.

This is a 40s-50s leisure/Hollywood jacket normally used as an sportscoat/ odd jacket
Odd jackets are sports coats in different weaves/patterns i. e houndtooth
