    Thanks. Had to sacrifice the cuffs to make them long enough.

    Sounds familiar. Oh well, it pains my heart to see them cuffs go but what can you do?

    70s but except for the wide spacing of the buttons and the lining it's fairly classically styled. I rarely wear this one though as I find it too flashy to wear too often (I do have a more subty styled herringbone tweed jacket which I wear quite often though).

    I know I mentioned it when we met in Berlin but I really like this suit. I like the fact that the cut of the jacket is so classic that it almost looks modern.

    Donegal tweed, very heavy weight but airy. Very itchy so the trousers are lined to the knee.

    Love it. I have yet to find a nice jacket made from nailhead fabric.
