I was actually looking for another tweed coat to modify or a tweed waistcoat to add to the collection. I've been known to wear a waistcoat only, without a jacket. It's a nice idea for Florida, being rather very humid most of the time. I have always felt it adds a little nicer appearance without overdoing it at times. Plus I'm not to fond of the costume looking swordsman vests. I'd rather wear a modern waistcoat or something from the 19th century. Say Civil War era..

Awesome find! Some very nice items can be had at Goodwill, thrift stores, and garage sales.

This is the best quality I can get with my camera.

Cool find. I got two genuine Harris tweed suit coats from the local thrift shop for $ 3.25 each. Both are in my exact size. I now have a great look to wear over a pair of dress trousers to those pesky #@*&% business meetings. The big boss was not thrilled when I showed up in an Argyle, vest and kilt kit at the last meeting.
