    I have a custom made Barathea wool Argyll that fits well and looks great. I also just got a tweed Argyll two days ago from them which also fits well but doesn't quite have the same body to the fabric and build----just doesn't seem as solid a fabric as the barathea. Still a nice jacket---no issues with the tailoring.

    I am thinking about getting a daywear (tweed) jacket from Higgins. Could you post a picture of your tweed jacket?

    I just got it and it was pretty wrinkled from being folded up for shipping so I sent it out for a pressing and should have it back in a couple days. I will take a few pictures of it then and, if I can figure out how to post them here, will do so shortly thereafter. newbie here still trying to figure out how to get phots and links into my posts. Keep checking back over the next week or so. I won't let you down.
