Looking for Vintage Tweed

[Brian Sheridan]

I teach at a college and would love this fall to be wearing a vintage tweed jacket (yes, I know - the stereotype).

If anyone comes across one in size (regular) 40-41-42, and its in good shape, please PM me or email me at:

briansheridanerie@yahoo.com

I have kept my eye on Ebay but no luck so far.

THANKS!

I think you need to be a little more specific in your requirements.

I have a high quality Harris tweed sport coat in size 40R. The fabric is made many different colours which create a nice brown tone together. It has patch pockets and and leather buttons. Sadly, it's only from the 80s.

Henrik

Brian, I routinely pick-up Harris Tweed sportcoats in thrift stores in Dallas. I give them to a ldy who makes vests and hats from the fabric. If I run across one or more in your size, I'll let you know.

You may want to try sourcing from local thrifts as well.

Good luck. Carter

Thanks a bunch for that.

Sadly, our small city does not have thrift store that carry any clothing of note.

Indy Magnoli is the other way - if you want to go custom made. Bookster on the'Bay is the other guy - but how vintage do you want it? Could any one tell me if they know of any vintage tweed suppliers particularly Donegal.

There are usually plenty of tweed jackets on ebay uk, good ones can be had that way from private individuals without having to resort to paying premium prices from dealers.

Tweeds

Try "Style Service" on ebay. They are a British outfit with lots of nice English tweeds. LOL.

Brian, I checked out that website. Verrry nice stuff.

I do! But my bank account doesn't!

 

[Paris7]

That is a jacket, glad you like it too.

I do! But my bank account doesn't!

Well ..... I thought that one might get you right in the bank balance! It is a bit special, very definitely "the business", I think it would have been very much more expensive when new. I like the vented back, it'll be very comfortable when you are out Grouse shooting.

I'm delighted to have found a solution for you.

Now, I don't doubt your dress sense Brian, after all you chose the right jacket - just to say that to be taken for an authentic British gentleman you need to keep the rest seriously understated or "quiet". My wife (a French cinema Stylist) suggests a pair of cavalry twill trousers in the colour of the dark brown stripe, a pair of top quality but not over polished vintage, brown Lobbs (if possible) brogues, a cream or white collarless? open neck fine linen or Egyptian cotton shirt, no handkerchief in the pocket (a bad sign that, definitely not British) and forget the cravat but get a "well loved" loden green or rust coloured - sorry colored - Locks Irish tweed cap or flat hat. No fedora with that jacket cut and no tartan socks....!

Has the Tweed jacket arrived?

Has the jacket arrived Brian? I'm wondering if it is what you were looking for? I hope so.
