My latest eBay acquisition is a lovely vintage windowpane tweed jacket in shades of tan with dark brown overchecks. This one is in the Braemar style, I believe, due to the panels on the sleeves.

The sleeves are just a smidge longer than I'd like, but I think they'll work out OK. They really can't be shortened without moving the sleeve panels, and those can't be moved without disrupting the pattern (the maker seemed to be very meticulous about making the overchecks line up on the pockets and sleeve panels). At any rate, I think it's a great fit otherwise. I picked it up for about 26 quid. Not bad, eh?



Whilst I'm wearing it with my Colquhoun Ancient kilt, I think it will be a better match for my Colquhoun Weathered kilt which is currently "in the queue" and causing me increasingly significant Jonesing pangs. The brown hues will go well with weathered (or "reproduction") blue and green hues.
