Respect. That looks great and the fabric works far better than the naysayers (including me!) predicted. For example they did an outstanding job with the pattern matching. Shoulders look great too.
Congratulations

[SJC]

Thanks Flo, yeah they came out very well, they are like the King Cole but just better in every way.   I'm just steam pressing an Iguana one for myself...

The Iguana is so darned cool!!

*Heavy metal solo of joy* thank you so much for making this, just my style, very British looking sports jacket.

[Urrah]

Sold. I've ordered one in green.

I'm a bit confused as to why these heavy wool sport coats are being sold just now when we're close to Summer.

I like the fabric pattern.

It's the Margate sports jacket, Margate is a traditional British holiday resort and you need a heavy wool jacket for traditional British holiday weather!
(I am in Scotland at the moment and it's been raining constantly since lunchtime yesterday ).

P.S. The green looking amazing, especially with the black shirt under it. What a great combination!
My only comment would be that Freddy is tall and, as a result, he makes the jacket look quite short. Maybe a more regular sized model might help.

I did wonder about the jacket length when I saw the photos but being quite short, it doesnt really bother me. I'm going on the Prince of Wales principle.

[SJC]

Tall and pencil shaped. Where is that 40 reg when you need him?

[Nik]

The back length is just fine for a sportsjacket. Vintage originals are quite often even shorter than that. 30s Sportsjackets are ideally shorter than their suit equivalent to avoid that cut-in-half look of odd jacket and trousers together.

Well, that's my concern Sean. The rest of Europe and the US doesn't have the same climate (Not counting Australia where it's soon to be winter). Buying a heavy tweed jacket before summer doesn't make much sense, specially when Simon is teasing us with upcoming linen/cotton stuff on the way on social media. Money isn't unlimited so I worry that the jackets will sit there until Simon is forced to offer them at discount because people are looking for summer garments.

I like the jackets although in the pics it looks like the skirt flares a bit. One detail I'm not convinced about is the matching pattern in the belts. Are they a separate piece of cloth?

I work in a conventional suit shop presently and tweed is selling very well into the summer months. Not sure if there is a correlation with vintage buyers but I thought I would mention it for what it is worth.

[Sean Longden]

Willy, I was only joking, I know it's not ideal to release tweed in the summer but sitting here in the freezing cold rain, it was all I can think of!!! (it really is bloody awful weather here, it's like the middle of winter. Tweed wouldn't even do the job today).

On vintage jackets the fabric pattern of the halfbelt is offset from the background as standard. Pattern-matching a halfbelt is a contemporary tailors thing.

With a fabric as loud as this one, I think it still looks okay as it is, though.
