Kinloch Anderson jacket question - worth the $?
I've been looking for a new tweed jacket and waistcoat for a few years, but haven't really found anything I want in my price range (around $350 for the set). After some unfortunate measurement advice from a vendor on a bespoke jacket that resulted in something more like a tweed sack, I'm disinclined to get anything online.
Last year I took a trip over to the Brooks Brothers flagship here in NYC to check out the Kinloch Anderson pop-up that was, at the time, living on the third floor. I fell in love with their jackets, although the pricing at the time was pretty high; I'm not sure if they expected anyone to buy anything since the store was clearly tied in to the marketing scheme at the time (think three floors of tartan, antlers, and pictures of models that looked the mother ship dropped them in a peat bog). I've been looking for some time, and noticed that given recent currency fluctuations, the price for the jacket direct from Kinloch is pretty reasonable.
Questions: Has anyone purchased directly from them? Do their prices reflect VAT? How's the fit/finish? And do they only sell through their own retail outlets or does anyone carry their jackets in the US?
Looking forward to replies. Thanks all.
