The autumn season is officially here, though in many places it still isn't very cool. With the summer season in the past, fall patterns and colors seem fresh once again. In another month, the season for heavier tweeds will be here, however, in the meantime what is one to do? For me, the hint is in coolness and colors that work well for this time of year. I have some lightweight wool and wool blend jackets that fit perfectly in this season - when it is still a bit warm, and not yet genuinely cool. The jacket shown here is a brown and olive gun club check with a burgundy windowpane. It's just the ticket for this early autumn time of the year.
The lining has been partially removed and the jacket finished on the inside, making it more cooler and a bit more flexible during the in between seasons of the year. The fabric, from the Abraham Moon & Sons, Ltd. mills in West Yorkshire, England, is an adaptable blend of 75% wool and 25% linen that has the character of tweed while remaining cool.
Flexibility in a wardrobe is always a helpful thing. Having jackets that can switch hit between seasons makes it easier to shift into the fall.
