BROOKS BROTHERS HARRIS TWEED
Made in Italy
Herringbone pattern with windowpane overlay and handsome colors
Tagged 42R, please see measurements


The colors in this tweed are instantly striking. From a short distance, the jacket appears to be a straightforward herringbone. Step closer and a thistle and gorse windowpane pattern emerges. Examine the cloth closely, and a whole world of colors opens up, thick as a Scottish meadow. (Click on the photos for close-up shots. But note my camera does not do this cloth justice!)

Simply put, this cloth represents the best contemporary Harris Tweed weaving you'll find.

Two-button front with leather football buttons, fully-lined with three interior pockets. Single vent, subtle darts. The shoulders are contemporary but without linebacker padding. Four buttons on one sleeve and two on the other. I can't account for this but you could always move one to the other side to balance it off, or remove two from the left sleeve to create very Trad two-button cuffs (and have two left as spares).

No holes, stains, odors or other flaws.

Tagged 42R, but please see actual measurements below for best fit.

Shoulders: 19"
Chest: 22"
Sleeve: 22" (+3" for lengthening)
Length from bottom of collar: 30.25"

Asking $55 CONUS

Very nice color. Wish I could have this fabric in a vest. That would be sublime...
