It's versatility is one factor why some of the "trendy" persuasion, as well as the conservative, will make use of it.<br /><br />I just purchased a Gieves & Hawkes houndstooth tweed sport coat recently, which will last me a good 40 years or so.Hestornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2116085973306668397.post-85654993565569806782010-12-19T08:56:07.924-08:002010-12-19T08:56:07.924-08:00The Harris Tweed representative who made that stat...The Harris Tweed representative who made that statement about tweed suits should now be seeking other employment.<br /><br />Of course, Harris makes terrible trousers so it might be an opinion specific to Harris Tweed marketers.Will Boehlkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01173316804999411413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2116085973306668397.post-36669098746126592232010-12-18T15:00:32.605-08:002010-12-18T15:00:32.605-08:00Richard, I agree - tweed suits, preferably three-p...Richard, I agree - tweed suits, preferably three-piece, are fabulous!

Being a fellow-old-fogey, he started wearing tweed as a wee laddie (I have a photo of the young Reggie, aged 4 or 5, wearing a Harris tweed jacket) and he never stopped wearing it in his ensuing half century of sartorial purgatory on this planet. I think I'll wear (one of) my J. Press tweed sport coats today. And I have my eye on the one I bought there 20 years ago and have happily (and defiantly) worn ever since.
