Inspired by theese


ive been incredibly inspired by the range of tweeds at dashing tweeds


Im even more inspired by some of the tailoring too!
I think it may be the boldness - or just the jokesterism of the peices but im really quite attracted to them. sadly tweed doesent work in the desert. if only they mad the stuff in a super light 6-8oz fresco
