Mens Tweed Blazer - Where To Get One?

[armywag]

My OH wants a tweed blazer and is tempted to get one tailored.

I want to get him one for Xmas - does anyone know a good place to get them online or around the Surrey / Hampshire area?

Or do you know a good tailor?

I know they are expensive but trying to find a reasonable priced one! :smirk:

Thanks

Do you mean a hacking jacket for riding on one to wear with his moleskins??

That is much easier then. Depending on how much you/he wants to spend.
