Here's an absolutely stunning bespoke tweed jacket from the renowned Savile Row tailors Lesley & Roberts, which is now part of Welsh & Jefferies (by Appointment to the H.R.H. The Prince of Wales). Naturally the jacket is of exceptional quality. The jacket is entirely hand sewn from a beautiful Irish/thornproof tweed, one with a pleasingly heavy and robust 'vintage' look and handle. The overall cast is a rich, rustic green/brown; the close-up pictures capture the cloth's complexity. Features of the jacket include: best quality horn buttons; a half ghillie collar; working cuffs; a fine cotton canvas lining in the torso, and a striped satin viscose lining in the sleeves; three outside pockets, and two wallet/document pockets on the inside - all canvas lined; twin rear vents. The jacket is in excellent overall condition: the main body is flawless, and the jacket looks immaculate, but there's a small mark and light discolouration to the lining (photo 10), and the wool underside of the collar is thinning in places (photo 11). Although these look like moth grazes there's no evidence of moth damage elsewhere on the jacket, so I'm inclined to think they're simply areas of light wear. The jacket is clean and free of scent or odour. In terms of sizing the jacket is unlabelled, but it fits like a slim 44 S, and should be suitable for someone
