Tweed 'Argyll' Style Jacket and Waistcoat Lining - Approximate Yardage/Metres

[piperdbh]

3 meters of tweed, 1 1/2 meters of double-width lining should be enough. Is there a reason for the acetate satin, as opposed to bridal satin? For my jackets and waistcoats, I prefer the heavier bridal satin, which is available at any good fabric store. Edited: how wide is your tweed?

The acetate/viscose satin is what is used on the tweed jackets I presently own and I like the feel/look of the material. I wouldn't want to go any heavier. Lovat Mill Kirkton tweeds are 1.5 metres wide and their weight is 500 g/m. They're a mediumweight range, which is ideal for me. I don't intend on going a heavier tweed route, as that would restrict the jacket and waistcoat's use to cold weather only.
