Outfit – Donegal Tweed
Since the cold days of should be over soon, I want to post a winter outfit before the wardrobe for the cold seasons will be stored away. Please take a look at the cloth – from a distance it looks like a normal herringbone tweed, however when you get closer, you can recognize the depth of this fine Donegal Tweed.

Nice outfit! But can you explain what you mean by an Ulster and a Guardscoat?
