Which tweed for my jacket?

[creagdhubh]

I think you have pointed out what subconsciously is putting me off the "bells and whistles" jackets. The examples shown of B&W jackets that have been well cut and fitted are very attractive and make me re-consider my liking for a plain jacket. But i just cant get round my dislike of heavy looking and feeling gauntlet cuffs.

I don't think they are heavy feeling, or looking at all. And I have never noticed a difference in weight with a gauntlet cuff versus a plain ("Crail") cuff. But, to each their own, right?
