As I was re-reading the Which Silhouette thread, I came across this photo--

Does anyone know (or have really good eyesight and can read) which book the navy/electric blue tweed at the bottom right is from? Or the rust/lite blue tweed flipped up in the middle?

The photo is from UC's description of his experience with A&S if that helps.

Thanks,
Cantab

The russet tweed with blue windowpane can be found in an H&S book; I almost chose it for a new sportcoat (or perhaps I did choose it -- the coat's been in process so long that I no longer remember).

The russet tweed with blue windowpane Is H/S 885300, it's a copy of the A/S special. The green is H/S 88530.

They're on the Sherry tweed II, bunch no. 546

I received my completed sportcoat on Monday. I had indeed chosen the rust-and-blue tweed. Thankfully, the cloth didn't make up quite so blaringly orange as I had begun to fear -- though I don't anticipate wearing it too widely!
