But although worn now in both town and country, tweed remains resolutely informal. Lord Harris once tried to break with tradition by wearing a tweed suit into the Royal Enclosure at Ascot, in place of morning dress. 'Mornig, Harris', he was greeted by King Edward VII. 'Goin' rattin'?'

Now that spring is here, I thought LL members might like to see a couple of vintage tweeds before they get put away again for next year.


The two piece suit was made in 1948 by Kilgour, French & Stanbury. The sports coat was made in 1953 by Anderson & Sheppard.

Can we say patch waist pockets are not British but an American thing?

Lovely brown Harris Tweed. Normally I prefer horn but those leather buttons are actually very nice.
