I just rang off with a collector and have a positive reversal in finances ( briefly.) One item on my wish list has been a tweed hunting jacket from Bookster. Yes, I am in southern California. At best, it will see service in winter eastern Europe (with luck) and the colder months and mountains here ( we do have them.)
My rational is a vacation/casual jacket a step above the dayglo goretex, youth hostel look. I agree, many of Peter's tweeds are, well not me. I've spotted a few  appraisers on The Antique Road Show sporting them.
Would anyone care to appraise any medium wieght weaves of merit? I keep going back to the charcoal grey Herringbone; usefull and familiar like vanilla icecream. A scoop of chocolate added might be nice; but no sparkly thingies on top.
