    The Need for Tweed

    So even though I recently purchased a bold tweed check Argyll on ebay, I had also bid on this more subtle houndstooth Braemar early in the auction and won it without any opposition. Perhaps I overpaid? It arrived last week, just before xmas and so I've finally gotten around to taking a photo of it to share with the kilted rabble.

    Being a huge huge tweed fan I say you have done well. Looking quite sharp there indeed.

    Fantastic jacket. I can never seem to find a nice tweed in my size. That one looks to be a great fit for you, though. Good find.
