That really is a nice jacket and waistcoat.

Thanks! It's funny, I almost passed on buying it because I already had a very nice vintage green tweed jacket/waistcoat (the one in my avatar photo). But I'm an incurable vintage tweed jacket tart, so when one comes up in my size with a matching waistcoat, it's hard for me to look away. I actually purchased this almost 2 years ago but hadn't worn it until now.

As tweed aficionados know, their colour can be deceiving in photos. The listing made it look very dark, like a bottle green. Happily, it turned out to be a more earthy colour in person. It checks all the right boxes for me: gauntlet cuffs, horn buttons (26 in total), scalloped pockets, epaulets, and high-gorge 6-button waistcoat.
