Rob525 Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 I fancy a new tweed set for this season that wont break the bank. I like the alan paine rutland and combrook. It's on sale in lots of online places at half price (that's what's got me looking). Although I cannot find a full set in my size anywhere!!! Can anyone help with somewhere to look? Indipendants etc that maybe have an online store? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delwint Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 Holland’s country clothing, have the Deerhunter tweed in stock, which is in the sale. I bought the full set recently and it’s really nice quantity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob525 Posted June 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 I've just had a look at that looks nice but not sure on the hight of the mole skin shoulders. I've got it saved in the basket, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackpowder Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 I have an Alan Paine suit 7 or 8 years in, lined breeks are very comfortable in cold windy weather and the suit is affordable. Blackpowder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob525 Posted June 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 Thanks, looks like I'll have to pay the full price at 370ish plus the coat rather than 200 in the sale! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob525 Posted July 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 Managed it! Got a set of alan paine crombrook tweeds in forest green. Breeks waistcoat and cap for £194. Chuffed! Anyway, next question! This is my first set of breeks and I have a question on socks. I wear wellies... socks with gaiters or without? Do the tassels tuck in or go on top. Every gun I know that wears breeks wear boots.. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
