Yes, I saw the vest, very nice, but too small for me. You should enjoy those!:eusa_clap

Yea I don't think I could fit in to most ebay things besides hats.

you guys are killing me:eusa_doh: The jacket is a 46R and the vest is a 46 also.

That vest is really neat. I've never seen that style before. Does it have a name?
I think I want one...

Ah, so you got the 46, I got the 48 they had as well (but I wouldn't say I was round, 46 & 48 are the only sizes that fit around the chest & shoulders) . I was the only bidder on mine, how about you? I take it that their tweed jackets are quite nice, but I really liked the price.
What I have had a real hard time finding is a good standard Harris Tweed vest. The Irish vest you got is nice but I would like the shorter model that looks like a suit vest. The only place that I have found on the net that has a large variety of these vests, that would perfectly match this blazer, is a Japanese site that sells Traditional Messenger Harris Tweed vests. And the whole site is in kanji, not a lick of english to be had. And prices are, I believe, in Yen.

Anyway, congratulations on yours!:eusa_clap We'll have to post some pictures once our blazers show up. Nice catch on both!:eusa_clap

Cheers!

I was *this* close to bidding on that 46 - congrats! Can't wait to see it in pics!

 

[Teacher]

Quite beautiful, both! Enjoy them in good health; they should last a very, very long time.

That tweed jacket is great! The lapels look very 30s.
Pics of you wearing them when they arrive??

The vest I didn;t really plan on wearing with the jacket. I have broad shoulders also but I'm not really thin(probably not round either) I was the only bidder, thankfully, The vest I just used the bin option because it wasn't the same one theyhad in the catalog.
