The Lining:
This jacket was made by Barutti and looks to be in total extremely well made and the overall fit. The dusty rose-colored lining is made from a custom Harris Tweed with a great map of the Outer Hebrides woven into it, which I find fun and charming. It's in excellent nick and looks new. As I said, I think this jacket cannot have more than a handful of wears.

The Weave Close-ups:
Provided for my own enjoyment and for that of my tweed obsessed brethren: The pattern of the tan and brown Prince of Wales check Harris Tweed features a black, brown, tan, rust, and olive green overcheck on an ecru background which I find extremely attractive. This weave has a bit more 'fuzzy texture than my other Harris Tweeds, but I like it! Of course, the subtly of colors and upon closer inspection, the blend of different colored fibers are nearly infinite, which is the hallmark of Harris Tweed and why I love them so much.

The wear of this jacket is about perfect for me right out of the box and it's been wonderfully tailored with just about the perfect proportions for me:
