Yeah, I bought some from Lands End and they were crap. I used to get them in the army when I was in Berlin in the 60's for $20 and they were good thick wool, lined too. Now a good Scottish jacket costs at least $250 if you can find one for that price. I got a good one in Middleburg VA couple years ago on sale and it's a nice hard tweed with the full hunting pockets in it. I love those tweed jackets.
Plenty fox hunting around here. The best Huntsman just died this Autumn at 90 some years old, Melvin Poe, Orange County and Old Dominion Club. He was half fox. I've never seen a guy sit on a horse like he did, like he was part of it. RIP. He used to ride through our property and graze his Angus here too.
