What size are you? I am done with snagging jackets for awhile

Isaac , that is most excellent !!! Love the color .

The brown based tweed jackets are my favorite and it's a pity that we don't see more of them in today's world .... to my eye , they are a very nice compliment to almost any tartan and have a classic look .

Great score and you wear it very well !!!

Cheers , Mike

I am at the uncomfortable stage of shift-shaping (due to age). I usually am a 38 chest, long sleeve, narrow shouldered and 32 natural waist. Those measurements were in September 2015.

I find I am now 40 chest, 34 waist, thicker neck, even narrowing shoulders with the same long arms. Imagine buying a jacket for "curious George" and you see my dilemma. But I do enjoy a good hunt.

That's a great-looking jacket! I'm envious! I'm hard to fit, otherwise, I would be trying to root out these wonderful finds, too. Good on you.

Nice fit on that jacket, Isaac

I love the way all the russet tones set off the Black Watch kilt perfectly.

Needing a 50, nice vintage kilt jackets in my size come up only around once every year or two.
