It's nice to see the patch flap pockets option. How did those work out for you?


Great, so far. I think they work well with the texture and weight of the tweed, they might be a bit busy with something less substantial. Either way it looks as though the flaps could just be taken off for plain patch pockets.

Makes sense thanks. I sort of want to go for the harris tweed sportcoat but I'm not sure any of the colors are quite what I want. Something more like the UK Ironwood tweed would work. Maybe I'll do that in a MTO if possible. Then again I want a Daltry. I could go nuts trying to make these decisions sometimes!

^ You can definitely have flaps taken off. I've had it done before at my tailor's (if you're sure of your skills you can probably do it yourself). On a cotton or linen fabric, that might leave stitch marks, but on wool it should be fine.

Like mentioned by other members, great stuff on sale. I picked up a couple of lightweight shirts but I'm sure I will wear them before summer. They should do well with a wool sweater over.

This came right as I was gonna go to the gym. Had to try it on ASAP. Picture is just for laughs of course!

Hey Mike,

Earlier in the year you had a great FF Sportcoat fabric in kind of a chestnut corduroy. My only bummer was that it was Weller only. Would you ever consider offering that fabric again with us having the choice of more of a Daltrey cut?

My wife and I are in Atlanta visiting for the weekend, and yesterday I had two people come up to me to compliment my Epaulet cognac sport trainers and ask where I bought them. The funny part is that they both already knew where they came from before asking. I know Epaulet is taking the world by storm (as even a few South Carolina folks are regulars here), but I didn't expect two people already to know about the brand and these trainers in particular.

Oh, and one of the guys knew Matt. Small world! Have a blessed Sunday everyone.

Hey Guys

This is the napoli goldenrod/cashmere factory find from the most recent round.

I could use some advice on sizing. I apologize for the lighting -- I'm also slouching in the photo of the back. The back is actually really flat and good. I'm most concerned about the shoulders and length.

Being on the shorter end I'm so used to jackets being too long. This is a 37XS and I'm 5'4" and ~135lbs. Does it seem too short?

Thanks for any advice
Todd V
