Windowpane tweed Braemar jacket

[Tim Little]

I believe I recall Rocky stating on the forum that he could possibly supply the jackets and waistcoats in other tweeds not shown on his website? I seem to remember that for some reason, but I'm not entirely sure.

Best to check directly with Rocky himself, but this is my understanding as well from recent conversations I've had with him.

I also was rather fond of the inspired 'estate' tweeds by House of Edgar that used to be offered in the form of Highland daywear jackets and waistcoats by the Scottish Tartans Museum - the option for ordering them as since disappeared, hmm.

Those discontinued HoE tweeds seem to turn up occasionally via sporranmaker (and others?) on eBay -- as Cowher and I have each recently discovered -- so do keep your eyes peeled. It's a bit strange that HoE now only offers charcoal Argyle jackets considering how popular the other hues seem to be -- at least in these parts!

... it can prove difficult to actually gauge how the tweed will look once it is on the body, versus through the computer 'swatches.'

Speaking from my own recent experience, there's no substitute for seeing the actual cloth in person. If you ask nicely, however, Rocky seems willing to go the extra mile to help out!
