Have a good Easter,

Thank you, sir. It's one of my favorites. This one is another one, though it's suffering more from the 15 lbs I gained this winter than the houndstooth did.I have a weakness for tweeds and the one you are wearing is stunningly good.
I particularly love Donegal tweeds. Harris tweeds are good too but not a fan of the ubiquitous herringbone pattern.Thank you, sir. It's one of my favorites. This one is another one, though it's suffering more from the 15 lbs I gained this winter than the houndstooth did.

Have a good day,

I get on well enough with herringbones and can happily wear Harris for weeks. But I am fond of Donegal as well. I wish I could find more of it that is similar to the one I had on 3 days ago.I particularly love Donegal tweeds. Harris tweeds are good too but not a fan of the ubiquitous herringbone pattern.
I was in Scotland Sept/Oct of last year. The tweeds I liked the best were in a shop on the East coast of Scotland and their stock was all from Yorkshire across the border in England. Great variety of patterns, a less heavy weight of tweed. So I brought a few metres home to have a jacket made from it. Settled for a few bolt ends of Harris Tweed to have some caps made....(none of the them herringbone!)I get on well enough with herringbones and can happily wear Harris for weeks.

Very thick and slubby yarn that is in the fashion of homespun, in not actual homespun

By guessing the year, do you mean the style, or the actual suit? The style is classic, just so late 40's, the lapels were much wider in the 30's. There is no turned up cuff on the hems of the trousers so I'm guessing that the suit is modern, made to measure maybe.View attachment 163449
This is not today but a few days ago during the abnormally warm weather we had in England. The suit is an open weave twill in light grey, three buttons and peak lapels (would like to know if you can guess the year...)
That's a beautiful blazer, how I envy those lapels. This is a much more modern take in a similar vein:View attachment 156984 Been a while so here ... this was last year at Selvedge Run in Berlin (pictures by Nick Clements on MENSFILE mag)
This blazer too, provokes the sin of covet. Mine, although similar, is nowhere near the classic design of your's. I will post a photo wearing it when my wife finishes the wide bottom white trousers that she's making to go with it.... and this is today View attachment 156985
