Respectfully, I'd wear it as a country tweed in the cold autumn / winter.

Something a bit different from Molloy and Sons of Donegal.

Hi,

I am looking to purchase my very first tweed jacket and I would need some advice please.
I saw this Hardy Amies jacket on eBay for 36£ and I would like to know if you think that it is a nice purchase.

 

[MrSmith]

is it 100% wool? do you like the fabric pattern and cut? e.g. lapels,gorge,vents etc. if so, buy it. if not, plenty to choose from on ebay right now

I know it needs to be on..but let me know your thoughts.

That one is VERY nice. I love the details on it. Half Norfolk Style with Belt, 2 vents is good, can't tell if it has action back pleats. Triple patch pockets is a nice touch, throat latch (functional?), elbow patches, and bellow hip pockets, but no buttons on them. Still nice details, and something I love in my tweeds.

The latch is just a detail with no function. It's great to get a thumbs up from such an expert on tweed such as yourself!

I have a functional latch on my hybrid hacker, would recommend if you live in a cool climate!

I assume very similar, but with pants.
