Other than a quick lunch, I have spent the entire day at home crunching numbers in preparation for my corporate taxes. This is a time of year that most WASP truly dread, and this year is no different. To endure the stress, I wrapped myself in a comfortable 3/2 roll J Press Harris Tweed and I lit up the pipe. I only usually allow myself one smoke a month, but today I truly needed the mental clarity and I allowed a cheat. I am truly hoping for a big fat return check, but I realize that is only a dream and I am more likely to be paying in. Blast! And yes, my wife says this jacket looks like a 1970s couch, but I think I wear the couch like fabric well. Don't you think so?

You wear nice clothes, so why buy imitation rugs?
I know the pain all to well of owing the IRS, what I wouldn't do for a refund one of these years. My boys in at work call my tweed the Archie Bunker chair jacket. I think yours looks great on you.
The couch-like fabric works quite well. I'd certainly wear it. Let's hope you don't next start wearing coats that match your rug.
I just added you to my blog roll at my new blog, the Cable Knit Collegian. Please check it out, I'd appreciate some feedback.

Nice rig! The cordovan moccasins (Alden?) go well with the cord trousers. Kind of horsey, I guess.
A dark gold or brown wool tie would match nicely. Just a tiny glimpse of belt, but it looks cordovan too.
As the winter wears along you're pulling out the good stuff...
WASPs pay someone else to do their taxes, Richard.
Its great - almost the classic of classics that J. Press offers.
How do you have all your records together in late January? Maybe Worthington or your secretary could help out.
I accidently deleted a comment saying that my trousers were too long. I apologize, but in fact they are not. I have lost about 6 lbs. since Christmas, and my trousers simply settled on my waist. I quick tighten of the belt and all is well. Plus, I have about 50% of my trousers with a slight break, and the other 50% with no break at all.
I think I'd rather enjoy a tartan couch.
That being said, the odder the tweed the better.
I saw some interesting tweeds in an old Brit movie, The Hounds of the Baskervilles, 1959.
A Hammer Studios production. Peter Cushing as Sherlock Holmes. Christopher Lee as Sir Henry Baskerville.
C. Lee wears a variety of tweeds. Yes, Dracula in tweeds.
Cushing, too. As well as Watson.
Was on TMC or AMC a few days ago.
Hammer's sets have the most interesting knick knacks on them.
are you at all concerned that smoking only one pipe a month might give the impression that it's just a prop that's part of your schtick???
nope, not concerned at all!
How does a business get a tax refund? Hire an accountant immediately!
Is that the used rag you bought on EBay recently to pump up your J. Press inventory? Looks worse than the listing. Get something new next time.
I realize that a business is not going to get a tax refund.....gesh, take a joke. And secondly, though I do occasionally shop on eBay, I bought this J Press jacket from the store via Internet. It is actually still avaliable, and it came with a matching vest.
And plus, many of you anonymous guys are hyopcrites. "A WASP should wear used clothing that has been handed down, never new clothing." "Buy something new next time." Geesh!
What makes you think it is "Harris" tweed? (You do realize that Harris is a manufacturer, not a style) The vest came with it?!? Do you buy pants with matching surcingle belts also?
The tag on the inside says its Harris Tweed!
Ha, the anonymous guys are hilarious. It's funny how ignorant they are. On other parts of the internet they're called trolls.
