I like the proportions on the left. It's bigger than what you often see. Large? Maybe not quite.

I love the oatmeal one. It's soft and subtle and quiet and perfect. A smaller plaid would make it less so.

Jackets and suits, too. Take a look at DOW's photos of his tweed suits. Probably standard size checks, but much more relaxed-looking because he was so small in comparison. Adjust for 21st-century nutrition: + 20% if you're only accounting for height.

I would love to do another tweed overcoat. I wear them the most.

Something like this vintage heavy herringbone...

Yeah, what he said...WOW

And here is the quality in a gray green....also wonderful.

I am going to do a test of both of these for Fall, just too too good
