I’ve recently added two new (vintage) jackets to my winter lineup. Luckily, I’ve remained in pretty good shape, so a few of the tweets that I used to wear are now too big. I like to think it’s my eating habits and pseudo-dedication to staying healthy, but more than likely they have just stretched out.
This black watch job by Pringle is an Ebay find. I’ve been looking for a black watch jacket forever, and almost every one I come across is damaged, cut like a pillowcase, or made of a nasty blend. Not this one…the fit is perfect (especially for a vintage jacket), and the colors are just right. I’m not a huge fan of the buttons, but they aren’t something I’ll change right away.
Numero dos is a Made-in-the-USA Pendleton tweed, complete with a ticket pocket. This one was a gift from the Goodwill Gods, and it fits like a glove. I won’t have to alter this one an inch. It’s a medium weight tweed, and the pattern is awesome. I really like the touch of blue, as most of the shirts I wear are blue. And I love those leather buttons, man. I get older, and they stay the same age…
I can’t wait to give these bad boys a ride…
I recently got a cashmere tweed jacket by Southwick very similar to your Pendelton one, even with the subtle blue check. I’ve only worn it once but I think it will be a favorite this Fall/Winter. Looking forward to seeing how you wear yours.
