Here's a jacket from the lightweight 10.5 ounce Shetland tweed that several readers joined me in purchasing a few months ago.
The coat still needs sleeve buttons but is otherwise ready to go. It's a three button with patch and flap bellows side pockets and a throat latch that will pair well with cotton drill trousers as well as tan or cream gabardines on dressier occasions.
I expect to have photos of the second lightweight tweed commission, a brown twill with blue and white overchecks, next month.

Being slightly expansive about the waistline I tend to avoid patch pockets. Did you choose them for any particular reason (say, cargo capacity), or just to differentiate from other jackets?
I think patch pockets and tweed go hand in hand. The bellows are just to look a bit different.
