Vintage Suitings: Discussions of, and sourcing modern equivalents, etc.
Donegal tweed samples from Molloy and Sons. i think these fabrics would interest the cap makers. i'm uncertain how they'd make up as tailored items as the fabrics are weighty but not dense; i.e. you can see quite a bit of light through the weave. i suspect a sports jacket might work, but...- herringbonekid

i would definitely wear cream flannels on a cool but sunny Autumn day. a whole suit ? probably not, but if you feel like it, do it.- herringbonekid

Show us their suits
similar to the ones on Clark Gable's "It Happened One Night" jacket too. i find the breast pocket too eye-catchingly square. the lower pockets i like, but think round corners would harmonise with the jacket more.- herringbonekid
