Tweed Season Is Coming

Autumn soon approaches, and with it arrives Tweed Season. Experienced customers will know to place their orders for seasonal pieces 4-6 months in advance to ensure that their jacket or suit is ready in time. Here, I am working on a two-piece country tweed suit that is expected to be completed in October, just as the temperature begins to decline here in our Nation's Capital.

The brown herringbone tweed cloth is a well-established classic that is about 13-14 ounces in weight. The coat will be finished with a three-button front and patch pockets, which will give it both a classic and casual look.

I will soon undertake the pad-stitching of the lapel which will help create a very natural roll. These stitches will help retain the roll of the lapel for the life of the garment. I look forward to finishing this project.
