    Thanks Alan,

    As mentioned in the OP, it is the "Contemporary Tweed Jacket" from Heritage of Scotland. I bought it during one of their 15% off store wide sales. They have a great selection of tweeds, Harris and others, at really reasonable prices. A nice option is that you can order the waistcoat and Jacket in different sizes. I ordered the waistcoat in a 46 long (my typical off the rack size) and the jacket in a 48 long, then took the jacket to my local alteration shop for a more custom fitting. At the sale price, the jacket and waistcoat were about $300 delivered (Royal Mail signed for) plus the $35 alteration cost. I'm quite happy with the whole deal!!

    Thanks again.

    I look forward to meeting you at the Woodland games.

    Brooke

    Tweed and sweater

    Thank you, I really like the look too (obviously) . I was originally inspired by this stock Harris Tweed photo.

    Although, I believe I first saw it on the Scotweb site.

    I think it's a classic smart country look, though I'm sure there is a much simpler name for it! Currently, it's about as dressed up as I ever need to get.


    Thanks again for the feedback.

    Brooke
