I don't think I could let it go. I got it at the religious scene.

I had one jacket with elbow patches. Not sure how to vote.

My history with reeds is a dark one. I much prefer stringed instruments.

Funnyyyyyy!!!!
 ... I'll bite!! When my parents lived in Edimburgh in the late 80's, I visited the Tweed River valley (where the fabrics comme rfrom) and the old catholic abbey ruins (thanks to Cromwell) some 100 kms south of Edim and 100 km from the Borders region.
I did buy there an excellent grey (black & white actually) "sport" jacket... used it up somewhat >> it's like when I dress up >> i won't go beyong that tweed and cashmere sweater over jeans) ... that I still own it.... but I'm going to have to buy the bigger brother, someday >> stragely enough it shrunk in my wardrobe ... ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

That stuff will age you quick. You can always see a tweeder coming a mile away. Some of the newer designer stuff is ok, but these guys that try to stick to the classic stuff?...you know...all strung out.

I’ve always avoided it. My mum said it could cause English disease (commonly known as "rickets"). Still, I don’t think it’s harmful to wear it once or twice a week. Unless you’re pregnant.

Well, if you have a tweed jacket, you simply must have suede elbow patches. I think I still have one hanging in one of the closets somewhere. Haven't worn it in several years. Like the black leather vest, various suspenders and old neckties. I am not sure why they are still there.
