Tweed Jackets

i just don't like tweed. take a photo of it. if it's real light then go for it. if it's a murky yellow or browny then you'll look like an attempted professor.

EDIT: might i add tweed is 'in' right now.

I don't have a camera. It's the lightest tweed I could find, I'm not fond of darker tweed.

Tom, I do not look 12. Young, but not under 17/18. Also, I did but it's grown back.

if what flyingjesus says is correct, then it's no go... tweed on a 'young' looking person (under their age) is as much a sin as cords on a child/non-paedophile. oh how my mother has tortured me.

I suppose. No big lose for me, 3 quid in Oxfam lol

Haha cords are beautiful what you on about... no I totally agree you can wear them between the ages of 1-6 when you have no say in the matter and then never again until you hit retirement.

Niall my point wasn't that you actually look like you still have to hold hands when crossing a road, just that even if someone might guess you at 18+ through your demeanor and out of reluctance to insult you, you don't have the features of someone old enough to wear tweed without looking like you're trying too hard. You're allowed to like the style, it's just that not all styles suit all people and tweed would not do you any justice. I love the sort of pseudo-goth Edwardian look on some people, but I know it wouldn't suit me because it looks best on spidery-looking chaps and I'm short

i don't believe there's such a thing as vintage for men so most definately not! could try and get a good resale price depending on it's brand.

Point taken. You can go back to insulting me now if you want.
