Thank you, and I agree.Hemingway Jones, the lapels on the waistcoat of that Cordings suit are great! Would that your suit was actually indicative of most 21st c. tailoring!

That first photo of 'Barmey' TT if it was in sepia could be a period studio shot...outstanding red team!
Picked up this fleck-y tweed on ebay for pennies. Some stains and mending needed finessing, and it was in dire need of a good press. It looked like someone had balled this suit up and shoved it in a corner of a trunk somewhere. Both the stains and the mends are hidden by the mottled look of the tweed. Seller claims the suit is 1930s, looks early 40's to me. Nary a label to be found, so possibly bespoke or homemade. Construction is VERY simple. Really like the red, yellow, orange, and black flecks.
I recently purchased a Vintage Harry Hall Tweed Hacking Sport Coat with brown guncheck with burnt orange window pane. Here are a picture from the ebay post and from me riding Bella with the jacket on. The ebay seller is named tweedbee and he/she sells a lot of Tweed items.
Nice jacket, but I'm afraid it's 1970s, not 1950s.

You have some really nice looking Tweed in your pictures. I was intrigue with the "Yorkshire Tweed" label as I have a relatively new J.Crew tweed sport coat that has the same label and when I bought it I wondered if it was just a marketing gimmick or if "Yorkshire Tweed" has a long and respected history for quality and workmanship as "Harris Tweed" does?
Does anyone know - is anyone familiar with this label / its history / quality / etc.?
