Turn back the cuff and there is velvet inside. It is the only soft thing on an otherwise dry, dense herringbone tweed, and it appears at exactly two points on the jacket - which is the correct number for a detail this deliberate.
The rest is straightforward country tailoring: a pointed collar, a plain button front, two flap pockets at the chest, and every edge left with a fine fray rather than bound. The body is cropped to the waist and cut close through the shoulder, so the whole thing sits like a jacket rather than hanging like a coat.
It is the piece that makes jeans look like a decision, which is not a small thing to ask of a tweed.
