The Newest Cloth Club Project


The newest London Lounge Cloth Club project is a 15 ounce tweed woven by Scotland's Lovat Mill. As the photo shows, it's a tan and brown glen check with a red overcheck that's citified enough to go from country to town without hesitation. At least on Fridays.

In about a year my length of the cloth will become a vested suit. I like the look of a vest in country cloth and I hope the human race gets its act together to lick global warming so there are cool days on which to wear it.

Will,

Several months ago there was a thread on AAAC regarding waistcoats, Manton wrote that formal (for office/urban environs)3 piece suits should not have lapels on the waistcoat. However, that is acceptable for Fridays/country wear. What are your thoughts?

Great looking fabric & thanks

I like lapels on waistcoats for my flannels but not worsteds.
