    WANTED: Tweed Jacket & Waistcoat 38S

    Hi! I'm looking for a tweed jacket & waistcoat combo. No preference really on color, pattern, cuff, etc. 38S, though a 38R would work too. Thanks!

    Try eBay... Jackets in your size come up regularly.

    I agree with Mr. Maxwell. I am a 38R and have seen (and have gotten) a lot of jackets and combos in my size in the past year

    Hmm, I've been checking for several months and haven't had much luck.

    A few that I got from just the past year (only those with matching waistcoats shown)...







    All of these are about a 38-39R and averaged a bit under 100USD each for the combos.

    Jeez! You lucky dog! Well, I'm definitely going to be searching harder now, those are some very smart combos. Do you typically just search "tweed jacket and waistcoat"?

    That last one in particular I'm a tad jealous of, that's the exact style I've got my eyes peeled for.

    I usually use the terms "vintage wool kilt jacket." Often the size is not accurate or even listed, but most of the time they give actually measurements of the garment. Take the same measurements off a jacket you currently have that fits well and use those measurements for comparison.

    It also helps if you set your filters to Condition: Pre-owned and Location: Worldwide

    Yes! Make sure you are looking "Worldwide."
