Re: New In At Chiltern Street...

New winter email received. Nice items, no Ivy jackets yet

Re: New In At Chiltern Street...

...they're in! Grabbed a rather lovely brown glen plaid. Had to size up a bit!

Re: New In At Chiltern Street...

To add a bit more information, the glen plaid tweed is a lovely fabric, if surprisingly lightweight. As you'd expect, it's unstructured and unlined, and the wool feels almost springy compared to a Harris tweed. I wouldn't want all my natural shouldered jackets unstructured, but I like it a lot.

I tried the chunky brown cord jacket. The fabric is really nice and heavy. In fact, I have wonder if the chunky fabric means the shirt sleeve style shoulder I protrudes a touch. 

The prices are creeping up, and I were it not the brown glen plaid I've spent a decade or so looking for it, I might not have rushed to get it.

Tried on the overcoat. Truly exceptional, lovely fabric. If you need an overcoat and have loads of spare money, id definitely recommend

Re: New In At Chiltern Street...

Is there a dark green or dark brown wool Ivy jacket? Either in the natural wool pattern or herringbone?

Sadly I'm not sure. They brought the jackets up from the basement...I think they must have literally just arrived the day before. I suspect they'll be online within the next day or so...

Looks like they're doing the beige Moon tweed again.

Lovely fabric but I had to size up.

I'm looking forward to seeing the buggy lined options.

I had to size up to a 44 for the glen plaid (for reference, I'm usually about a 40-42 long)

Re: New In At Chiltern Street...

I was browsing on 'Dicks of Edinburgh' website , they have a wide range of Jamiesons knitwear and McGeorge of Scotland shawl collar cardigans, these look like the JS ones, 90% wool, 10% cashmere, the cardigans are £60 cheaper at Dicks, and the Jamiesons £10-20 cheaper, I'd guess JS would match the prices if anyone was interested and mentioned it, not trying to stitch up our favourite shop but ..... and Dick's often have a pre-Christmas sale with good discounts, I got a GRP shawl collar cardigan from them a couple of years back at a decent discount ,

Yes Dicks are a sound shop. Would not look to buy knitwear from JS as there are better stocks & prices elsewhere.

House of Bruar used to offer fantastic 3 ply Scottish cashmere but they don't offer that anymore. Plenty of places offering Jamieson and Harley stuff and Woolaway in Leicester have good prices on other items Norwegian, etc.
