r/Tweed

Hi, I’m considering buying a tweed Balmacaan coat and I’m undecided about which pattern is the most versatile and suitable for different occasions.

Specifically, the two patterns I like best are brown houndstooth and dark gray herringbone.

To give some context, I already own a navy herringbone coat and a green loden coat, so I’d like a coat that complements them in both color and pattern.

As for my style, I dress smart casual for work (OCBD, sport coat, chinos/corduroy/gray flannels depending on the season), and in general, I like the style of Drake’s and similar brands.

Right now I’m considering these models; if anyone owns any of them and can give me feedback on any of them, I’d appreciate it.

I’m also open to other suggestions in this price range (up to roughly €500 on sale) as long as they’re easily purchasable from Europe (no duties/taxes).

Thank you so much!

Hi all, assuming both suits fit me, which do you think is better or of higher quality?

• The Walker Slater should fit well but the owner said the pants are a little snug but have room to let out.
• The Brook Taverner jacket is a 38 and I'm usually a 36.
