The Official Tweed Appreciation Thread
Here are some pictures for you. First a structured Bladen 3-piece tweed suit: Then a classic hacking jacket, also from Bladen: And now for something completely different. An unstructured wool/angora tweed jacket from Magee, cloth woven in Donegal, Ireland: Not too bad, I say... Yours...- Mr. Tweed

Slanted jacket pockets?
I think hacking style pockets is a nice way to emphasis the country and equestrian heritage of the modern jacket. A few words of advice, though: 1. If you decide to have hacking style slanted pockets, make sure the jacket has some shape. Some structure in the chest and shoulders, and some waist...- Mr. Tweed

Offical TRICKERS shoes and boots thread
I decided on the Grasmere, because I like the little bit of extra stitching on the toe. Also, I'm probably going to go with the grey repeto suede. I do like the idea of the crepe sole, for 2 reasons. 1) More like sneakers, which I wear about 24/7, and 2) Pretty unusual. But, on the other hand, I...- Mr. Tweed

Offical TRICKERS shoes and boots thread
I like it but I'm not sure about the Keswick/Bourton on a single sole... I don't think the country lasts lend themselves to anything less than a double leather sole. But that's a matter of opinion of course. Well, that is just about what we told them when discussing this collab, but Nitty...- Mr. Tweed

Offical TRICKERS shoes and boots thread
Dear all, Although I am mostly in the Men's clothing part for SF, I thought I might chime in to this thread. Working as the Scandinavian agent for Tricker's we do see some nice collabs, and I would like to share this with you: The shoe is a Tricker's and Nitty Gritty collaboration for SS10...- Mr. Tweed

Fair Isle
1. Good fit 2. Good colourway 3. Pattern that isn't too weird (the J Press above looks good) 4. Wool that doesn't suck ass quality wise 5. Fairly warm but not super bulky Dear AR_Six, I think this collaboration between William Lockie and the Stockholm retailer Paul & friends would fit your bill...- Mr. Tweed

Cavalry Twill Trousers?
Dear dasai, Khaki/tan is indeed the most traditional and most common cavalry twill colour. Apart from that, olive and charcoal are frequently seen. Olive for the countryside, charcoal for the city and tan for where ever you happen to be... Yours, Mr. Tweed- Mr. Tweed

Cavalry Twill Trousers?
hmmm, maybe there is no 'traditional' configuration? I think I gave you the answer to that question. I might add, that the heavy weight and excellent drape of cavalry twill make turn-ups a bit superfluous. Yours, Mr. Tweed- Mr. Tweed

Cavalry Twill Trousers?
Dear alebrady, Flat front plain finished hem would be the traditional choice for Cavalry Twills in line with their British military/equestrian heritage. You would not like turn-ups in the field, catching dirt and debris. Today it is of course a matter of taste. Turn-ups would perhaps add a...- Mr. Tweed

"Quarters"
The idea is more like "let's use words that we can also use with the people who make our jackets." I do say "skirt flare" instead of "open quarters". If discussing how a pattern should be changed, increasing or decreasing the skirt cut-away is rather unambiguous. No matter which term is used...- Mr. Tweed

Gentlemen, of style and substance, I need a bag
If you like more safari and less military style, the bag should not be to dark. These hold-alls from Chapman bags come to my mind: Plain and simple, in fine materials. And the shoulder strap will not let anyone down... Yours, Mr. Tweed- Mr. Tweed

Shirts with patterns on inside of collar and cuffs
I consider this yet another case of the "classic with a twist" disease. I certainly do not mind people showing a personal style by, respectfully, mixing garments, patterns and colours to create interesting and slightly innovative combinations. That is how our clothing traditions have developed...- Mr. Tweed

Help finding a similar tweed sports coat?
Thankyou very much VictorJB. I have emailed him. I have had the idea of purchasing this type of jacket ever since I found an old pair of shorts that were of a similar material but have never had a picture or anything to go by. Dear Porter, Thanks for pointing to the RL video, quite...- Mr. Tweed

Eternal British style
Of course, you do not have to look like an aristocrat when wearing tweed. Here is my boss showing a rather rugged example: Perhaps not according to my own taste though. Check out this link for some more: http://www.countrysports.se/sports-and-style/styles Yours, Mr. Tweed- Mr. Tweed

Eternal British style
It's as well they noblemen dress so distinctly. It'll make it easier to single them out when the revolution comes. I can hear my fellow citizen sharpening the guillotine as I type. Oh, dear! First, they came for the tweed wearers... Yours, Mr. Tweed- Mr. Tweed

Tricker's Help
First of all, welcome to SF! Also, congratulations to your first pair of Tricker's, I am sure they will serve you well. Ripon is a plain galosh style derby country boot in Tricker's signature colour, the C-shade. This orange-brown colour will always draw some attention, but it goes well with...- Mr. Tweed

Jeans with an odd jacket, the right way
That is a nice tweedy jacket and the fit is OK for a RTW. The high gorge and the structured shoulders gives a masculine look, and the high waist and the skirt flare adds some elegance to it. Patch pockets would not look right on a structured jacket like that. The buttoning point is perfect for a...- Mr. Tweed
