Lightweight Highland Tweed Sport Coat

The approach to creating our signature Highland Tweed was simple: Create a versatile fabric with a timeless color palette that fends off autumn and winter chills without feeling heavy on the shoulders. Woven by a small, family-owned tweed weaver in Scotland, Orvis Highland Tweed delivers on these criteria—try on one of these sport coats and you'll immediately agree. The patterns and colors are traditional in style yet quintessentially American, pairing handsomely with everything from cords and a wool sweater to your favorite Oxford and well-worn jeans. You'll also notice that it's significantly lighter than tweeds you may have worn in the past, yet the warmth it offers is comparable, if not better. The easy-to-wear three-button, single-vented style features two flap-over patch pockets on the outside and five interior pockets: one on the inside right chest with zipper closure for security, a left interior chest pocket with a button flap, two lower interior button flapped pockets, and a convenient interior pen pocket. Fully lined with an invisible, built-in bi-swing, which eliminates binding when sitting or reaching. Pure wool tweed. Dry clean. Imported.Regular sizes 38-48. About 31⅝" long in size 44 regular. Long sizes 40-48. 1½" longer in body, ½" longer in sleeve.

Great Sport Coat,
May 2, 2013
By: Northward
from Wisconsin
"This is a beautiful tweed sport coat. Very well made, a quality item. I'm a little hard to fit, and this coat fit nicely off the rack. It's a lighter weight tweed, so I can wear it for about eight months of the year. I couldn't be happier with it."

Excellent Jacket,
January 23, 2013
By: F4FLYER
from Springfield, VA
"This jacket is exactly what I had been looking for in a casual jacket to wear with jeans and khakis. The blue/grey color combination leans a bit more towards the blue shade. The jacket is generous in its proportions. I am 6'2" and weigh 205lbs. I initially selected a size 46L but that proved to be too large. The 44L is perfect and comfortably allows for a sweater to be worn underneath the jacket. Tailoring and construction are superb. Extra inside pockets accent the quality and thoughtful design of this jacket."

Lightweight Tweed Sports Jacket,
December 28, 2012
By: Tony57
from Pottstown, Pa.
"Nothing wrong with the jacket, per se, but it wasn't what I was looking for and has taught me that I ought to see a jacket before I buy it. As it is, the coat is quite nice and, I think, a good value. I have bought many a clothing item from Orvis and I'm always satisfied."

Great casual tweed jacket.,
December 28, 2012
By: InCalgary
"I ordered this for my husband, as he needed a casual sport coat to wear with either dress trousers or jeans, and this one is perfect. The tweedy blue-grey colour works well with either browns or blues, so it looks good with both jeans and khakis. I would describe it as a longer, rather than boxier shape, and is fairly roomy through the shoulders. My husband is 5' 11", and 180 lbs, and is long-waisted, and the 40R fits him fine, with room for a sweater underneath. The finishing details are nice too."

Great Fit & Feel,
December 12, 2012
By: BigGuy1948
from Cincinnati, Ohio
"I just received the jacket today. It fits great, 48L, length of jacket and sleeves are both perfect for me, 6' 4" tall, weight 240 lbs. I had been wanting a tweed sports jacket for a couple of years, but they are not easy to find in the USA. I read the other reviews online for this product and they helped me decide to order this and give it try. I'm glad I did. I like the weight of the jacket. It is a little heavy weight wise for a typical sports jacket but I don't think it's heavy for a tweed of this type. I love all the interior pockets and the feel of the wool and the lining. It appears to be well made as other reviewers have noted. I feel it's a good value for the price and it looks very sharp. My only regret is that my wife insists that I let her wrap it up for Christmas, so that I can't wear it now until 12/26/12. I feel like a kid waiting for Santa, something that a 64 year old has not experienced in many years. Thanks Orvis!"

low cost but also low quality,
December 4, 2012
By: westies
from Ontario
"Wool is much too course for a reasonable Scottish product and the overall coat is very heavy in contrast to the add.
Unfortunately I had to return it; one of only a few I have had to return to Orvis.

Great, But Inside Pockets Too Short,
October 23, 2012
By: Jack87505
from Santa Fe, NM
"Have purchased many fine Highland Tweeds from Orvis and will do so again. This is an excellent product, with many fine features. I love the lighter weight too. And the price is right. I was surprised though that the inside top pockets were much shorter than on any other sports jacket or suit coat purchased from Orvis or any one else. Is this intentional?"

good product and great value,
October 20, 2012
By: wilphyl
from Southeastern,PA
"This is the second Highland Tweed jacket I have purchased through Orvis. In total I own three more Scot tweed jackets two of them purchased in the Cotswalds. The Orvis Jackets are every bit as well made and as well detailed as the ones purchased in GB.
I do like the weight and feel of the Orvis jacket, not as heavy or stiff as the GB jackets. They are great for traveling and for layering over a sweater or vest. Always comfortable and always in a gentlemans style.

"I have been looking for a winter coat, but I am warm blooded and most coats are either too heavy or too light. This Highland tweed is a classic. Great look and just the right balance in weight. Its a keeper."

Perfect 3-season Sport Coat,
October 3, 2012
By: OldSchoolSculler
from Saugerties, NY
"Just as the catalog says, it really is lighter than a regular tweed sport coat. Beautiful material! Cut is Orvis all the way - American, not wasp-waisted British or baggy Scottish. Construction is over the top, especially at this price point. All the usual Orvis attention to details in the many pockets, buttons, zips, etc. Fits me perfectly, and it looks just as good over jeans or khakis as it does over dress slacks. My new favorite sport coat, for sure!"

I Love This Coat!,
October 2, 2012
By: Mac55
from Grafton, MA
"This is a real find! The fabric is great - much lighter than my other tweed sports coats. I wear a size 44 and the fit is true to size. The internal bi-swing back allows real freedom of movement, something I really appreciate; too bad more sports coats don't have this feature. I purchased the blue/gray and am very pleased with the color. My only regret is I can't afford to buy the other colors!"
