For those of you who favour tweed

Post by The Old Buffer »

Found this coat on Amazon at a very reasonable price. The reviews are very encouraging.

I just bought one last week.
Very pleased with it so far. :Thumb:

I bought one last autumn from my local farm supplies shop. I can heartily recommend them for warmth and weatherproofing.

I would order a bigger size than 41 inch chest Chubman to allow for layers underneath.

God never did make a more calm, quiet, innocent recreation than angling.

Yes I have got mine now. Also got myself the matching gilethttp://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B009 ... UTF8&psc=1 I am not disappointed and can highly recommend them. I have stopped short of getting the tweed breeks though - I much prefer moleskin. :Wink:
