Here we are boys; a new take on tweed. Some of you may be aware of this outfit, but bugger it, I'll post the link again...

A tweed poncho.
Why couldn't I have thought of that?
I really like some of the stuff on the site, even though I probably wouldn't wear most, I appreciate the frivolous nature of some of the cloths, I see it as putting the fun back into dressing. grabbing it back from the iGent brigade. I particularly like the frock coat, that's a real show stopper, nice, colourful and playful. The suit by Edward Sexton also caught my eye, I don't particularly like Sexton's shoulder style as shown on the dashing tweeds site as I find it too built up and too square; but looking at some of the other details on the suit you can see that Sexton is a very talented cutter, there's a kind of restrained flamboyance about his cutting which I appreciate.
