This speaks volumes to the fact that the added weight of a 16oz wool fabric helps pull the wrinkles out.
I hope David brings a nice wooden, suit hanger for his jacket and hangs it in his car on the drive in to various Highland games and gatherings! Just kidding with you David, however, that is precisely what I do. I realize this is a bit off topic, but I never wear my tweed, barathea, or velvet jackets/doublets whilst driving - I always hang the jacket or doublet in the rear of my car, then put it on upon arriving to my destination. Now, if I am wearing a waistcoat as well (and I usually am - naturally depending on the weather, yet always with evening attire), then yes, I will wear that whilst driving as it seldom becomes wrinkled.
So David, where did those wrinkles in your smart tweed come from?!
Cheers,
