Good point on the bow ties. That eliminates the length problem, eh? I've only cautiously waded into bow tie territory, but will be doing more of it this winter (when I can actually wear a jacket with it).

Tobus, you have an enviable collection of jackets. That second one is a stunner. Is it Harris?
I'd have to look again, but I don't think so. It was made by Hugh MacPherson, Edinburgh, but I don't remember seeing a Harris tweed label inside. At any rate, even if it were, that fabric is no longer available (that I've found, anyway). I agree, though: that jacket is a stunner. It's my favourite one.
