The design is so classic, robust and wearable I'm surprised nobody else makes anything quite like this. There are plenty of clone-like pea coats and single-breasted tweed jackets, but the willingness to really explore such classic designs seems to be the preserve of only a few designers like Cabourn. Is that the middle age man in me talking? It may be, because the more I search for a style the more I appreciate classic quality like this.
The search continues - I'd probably sacrifice my Tenzing jacket for it!

The colour of the patches is very on trend for spring 2012. Classics are always a good investment.
The Prince of Wales sometimes wears a double-breasted tweed jacket - and very stylish it looks, too - but I have no doubt that he has his made for him! As an aside, he's not afraid to defy convention, wearing double-breasted jackets unbuttoned, and he's even been seen with brown laces in black shoes!
Thanks, coincidentally, I recently found a photo of him wearing one - I see a subject for a future post! GF
