A Reader Question: What is the specific item of autumn clothing you are most looking forward to wearing again?

 A reader question:

Hi Muffy, 

May I ask the readers a question please.

As autumn approaches and the weather cools, what particular item of clothing are the readers looking forward to wearing again (a difficult job I know, to narrow it down).

Personally I'm looking forward to getting back into my tweed hacking jackets (in fact it was cool enough this morning to wear one).

  1. Cubbing begins this weekend. Looking forward to putting on my tweed coat and brown boots.

  2. Like so many, I always look forward to the seasonal rite of passage when my summer things are stored away for another year - after having happily accompanied me through the often too hot weather – followed by the welcome appearance of my autumn clothing once again.

    I find the tilting of our planet to be perfectly timed to balance the seasons. Not too long, not too short. Every year, I eventually grow tired of the warm weather, and long for the cooler shorter days, and then vice versa (there’s just so much winter duration I can endure.)

    My favorite? Well, I really enjoy breaking out my wonderful tweed collection from Cordings – tweed hacking jackets, a tweed Field Coat, a Follifoot Bark Coat, a pair of tweed Plus Twos, tweed caps, and an exceptionally handsome three-piece tweed country suit.

    Now please bring on the cold weather – I’m ready.

  5. Nothing better than that first time I put on my J Press Shaggy Dog sweater over my thickest oxford cloth shirt. Question for Anonymous at 3:50 PM - where do you find French terry sweatshirts? All I can find are fleece and I hate fleece. Thank you!!

    1. I don’t understand why anyone would want to wear a sweatshirt during the day unless you’re in the gym?

    2. Really? Have you ever met anyone in the trades?

    3. I’ve worked with my hands my entire life. Hard physical, dirty work. Never wore a sweatshirt.

  9. We enjoy foot basset hunts in Far Hills after which the Forbes always host the nicest brunch, including Bloodies and Bull Shots! Every, these days, wears field pants and Patagonia vests, especially if one's PE firm's name is embroidered on the chest! Jolly good times!

  12. Hand me down from my father J Press tweed sport jackets bought on York Street in the ´80’s

  13. As a New Englander living in Austin, I look forward to being comfortable in what I am wearing now, shorts, a gingham button down with tails untucked and sleeves rolled, and Quoddy camp mocs. I cannot even imagine pulling on a Shetland crewneck. That would mean it was winter.

  17. Mr. Anonymous - Thank you very much for taking the time to post Loopwheeler. The track jacket was exactly what I wanted - I couldn't believe my eyes. Now the price I guess is the surprising part. The cardigan was very appealing too.
