Second hand tweed jacket for a 6 year old boy?

Does anyone know where we could get a tweed jacket for a 6 year old boy?

He wants to dress up as the 11th Doctor Who (Matt Smith) but after looking on eBay it would appear that 2nd hand tweed jackets for kids don't exist.

I've seen a Matt Smith costume on Amazon but it looks pretty naff and I'm sure we could do better.

He's got a "leather" jacket so maybe I should convince him to be the 9th Doctor instead

Try Ebay for "hacking jacket"

This one might be a bit big ... but bargain! (ends in 2 hours)

.... Might have a small pony smell but be perfect after a dry cleaning

Thanks for the advice and the link. He's only a small 6yo so it looks like the jacket may swamp him.

I've never heard of the term Hacking Jacket before.

Basically, a tweed riding jacket ... correct hunting and showing kit for young riders, hence often coming in smaller sizes. I guess tweed child-sized suit jackets are less common

Based upon your description, I think we will be hard pushed to find one in West Yorkshire. North Yorkshire might be more productive!!!
