Photo of Braemar Jacket

[Cool Bob]

I would appreciate if someone could post picture of a real light color tweed Braemar jacket from all the different angle and of some of the specific details. I got a friend who's a tailor doing beautiful standard jacket but who has no idea of what a Braemer Jacket looks like and what are the specific features. So I thought that maybe someone on this board can help me by providing picture to guide him. And if someone know an existing pattern please let me know.

Thanks
Robert

I do not have a light coloured Braemar but I have a Gray one and a Burns Check











I know these are not exactly what you are looking for but I hope they help.

Yes, very good,but don't forget the usual double vent at the back of the jacket and a nice useful touch, I can't quite see on the pictures above if its there, and often neglected, is a button hole on the left lapel.

Glen, the gray jacket and waistcoat looks sharp with that tartan. Nice look (as always.)

Here are a couple of photos showing the vents on the back, both of these jackets have button holes on the lapels I'll get a couple shots when I get home.

Those are really handsome jackets, Glen. That Burns check is something else.

I was rather taken aback to see that this very important (to me anyway) bit of tailoring has largely disappeared from off the peg jackets. I have a lapel "button insignia" of the US Navy officer's cap badge (about 1/2" 13mm tall) dating from WW I. It is not a pin, but more like a collar button, to be worn in the button hole in the left lapel. I am also old enough to remember when a man often wore a flower in that buttonhole whenever he went out.

Thank you so much for the pictures. It will really help. If anybody has some more please post them or send them directly to me. And if someone knows a pattern available please be sure to forward the link as well.

Thanks Again
