In little over a week, on…..SEPTEMBER 24th….from 5:00PM to 7:00PM…..I will be presenting my second grouping of Fall/Winter clothing. I have decided to start the sneak peeks with something you have ALL been wondering about…..the MELANGE TWEED JACKETS, A237642………………….This is one of the finest fabrics I have ever offered to you……it is designer quality, and as a matter of fact, fabrics very similar to this have been purchased by names you all know……..the only difference between their garments and mine……will be the PRICE! To say the fabric is exquisite….is an understatement…..I think you can tell by the close up how intricate a melange it is. The fiber content is 54% polyester, 33%wool, 11% acrylic and 2% other fibers…..one of those being a very fine crimped Lurex thread. The first color I’ m offering to you is…………….VIOLET, and it is a melange of…..BLACK, GREY, IVORY, WHITE, a SOFT VIOLET and a soft RASPBERRY/FUCHSIA yarn. There is also a very fine metallic yarn, but it is SO fine it’s hard to tell if it’s gold, copper or rose gold……whatever it is…it’s EXTREMELY subtle. The overall look of the fabric is….. soft and LUXURIOUSLY FEMININE…………The jacket is fully lined in the beautiful satin quality I always use. It has long sleeves and has a two button front….the buttons are also two tone……creating a HORN BUTTON effect. There are two pockets with flaps…..if you have NO intention of using the pockets….then I would suggest leaving them sewn shut. The jacket is approx. 27 inches long for the XS. There is also a very short center back vent. I would call this jacket……. SEMI FITTED…..it definitely has shape but it is certainly not an hour glass. I would recommend buying the size you normally buy………IF…..you are between sizes you can go to the smaller size…..if you like your clothes close to the body and have no intention of layering….you can go to the smaller size….but …..if you intend to wear it layered….as I have illustrated above…..get your normal size……….there is absolutely NO reason to size up……….My mannequin is wearing the VIOLET TWEED JACKET with the A237394, charcoal LINEA PONTE PANT, that is avail. now….OLO. It has already received rave reviews and unfortunately is now only avail in sizes L thru 3X. My Plus ladies….what are you waiting for to try these pants? Don’t let “slim leg” scare you……They were fit separately on a 1X model and they looked great….as a matter of fact the fit model ordered ALL colors. Don’t let these pants slip through your fingers……you will be kicking yourselves latter………My mannequin is also wearing the NEW FAUX WASHED SILK SHIRT in LILAC, A237555……..and yes, it is the same fabric as the three pieces from July that those of you who purchased….have fallen in love with…..There will be a separate sneak peek on this fabulous shirt. On top of the shirt is the WHISPER KNIT TANK, A237404….in PEWTER……if it is no longer in your size….no worries….it will be avail in the new “POSH KNIT”…………To finish the “LOOK”……I have accessorized the outfit with the Linea Pearls in PURPLE, J264035….the quantities are dwindling fast….just saying…if you are interested get them, because purple probably will go the way of the wine and green pearls! I have also accessorized the mannequin with the new stud pearl earring and bracelet coming in January. To top it off….my signature beret in Lilac….not avail.
You have asked for QUALITY……and I have delivered……….You will NEVER find jackets in ANY store, with equal quality to this at the prices Linea is offering….frankly they should have been a lot more, but I luckily have a VERY generous manufacturer….and I’m not kidding!………..scroll down for the next delicious color………..enjoy………………..much Love…………..Louis
i missed out on the purchase of the Melange Tweed Jackets. Please tell me there will be another order this year!!!
Dear Dee..sorry to say, whatever jackets were delivered for the show will be it for the year…..all I can suggest is wait list. usually women have been successful.
Louis, you are a “bad” boy – my cards are screaming, lol. One question though – I have already ordered the violet tweed – would the sapphire wk turtleneck work under it? Thanks!
I meant lapis
Neither Sapphire or Lapis would work under the violet tweed, but the Violet TN does.
They are now in and posted on QVC.com. Get yours NOW so you are not disappointed!!!
BREATHTAKING! OMG….. the tweed jacket is beyond gorgeous. Hoping that there is enough inventory in the XS and S sizes! Haven’t decided which one yet ( I wear both in your line ).
Dear NYC1…………if you have worn both xs and s in Linea jackets which styles fit you well in both sizes. This is an easy jacket so the xs might be better. I don’t see this style being all buttoned up. However if you plan to layer it, that is to be considered also. My samples are xs and I find them roomy enough.
They just got posted on QVC.com so hurry and get your while they are in stock!!
Will the purple haze mock neck go with the violet tweet jacket or would the pewter be preferable? All the new items look absolutely divine! I’m going to put an addition on my house to accommodate all of your clothing items I own & continue to purchase.
Dear Terri…..the purple haze was created to go with the violet tweed…..so yes they look great together.
Help, I’ve fallen, and I can’t get up! How will I ever decide? I need a spreadsheet and a slide rule to figure out all the combinations and what I already have and what I “need” (a relative term). Luckily, I live in New England (plus I’m an Ivy League girl) so Tweed is my middle name. Oh, this is going to be a wild ride so hold on to your berets, girls! Louis, you are a Master Wizard!

How will the jacket look with the violet turtle and skirt?
Dear Cela….they look beautiful….I would try a dk grey or heather grey tight
Can the caviar pant be worn with this jacket since the pant is somewhat of a charcoal?
Dear Tylerpoo….even though the caviar has a lot of blue it does work with the Violet tweed.I do prefer grey, but the caviar does work.
We know they can’t be ordered yet, unfortunately. Husband probably thought I was looking at them on QVC website. So, he will be anticipating (and understanding)the “staying up until midnight ordering process” that I (and most of us) do with your gorgeous clothes. I have him well-trained. Can’t wait for the clothes to appear. Thanks again, Louis, for everything you do for us.
Louis..I have now been instructed by my husband to get both the violet and sienna. And…he would like to know if I can order them now!! What a guy!
What a guy is right…..no they are not avail and probably won’t be until the 23rd at midnight.
At long last, a tweed I might be able to handle. If I pair this violet interpretation with a grey bottom, it will work. The subtlety of the colors and tweed itself is the selling point for me.
That settles the question. You really ARE the devil.
What…………..You’ve not seen my little horns!…………these are perfect for Boston………no?
Totally Beantown! I love the jackets (ordering 2 at least) but its the Posh that has me gobsmacked. That muffler!!
Be Still My Heart!!! These jackets are just superb! And the Posh Knit group looks oh so devine!! I just marvel at your collections Louis. I cannot wait!
And this is just the first sneak peek….but in all honestly there were 5 or 6 additional sneak peeks in the collages!
