How to Choose Tweeds You Will Actually Wear!

We were asked, “What kind of vest would you recommend to go with my Nordic Heritage kilt for my not-super-formal wedding. I was thinking like a gray tweed, but I don't know enough about tweed to know if it's a good choice. Ideally, I'd want to be able to use this for future outfits, too, so I was hoping it could be versatile.”
This is a classic desire for kilt wearers. How can you choose just one tweed pattern to go with your favorite tartan … and also tone with as much of the rest of your kilt collection as possible? There are a couple of approaches.

For me I would go with a blue tweed if you want a jacket that you wear exclusively with your Nordic Heritage Tartan. But if you want something more “universal” then go with a charcoal jacket if your doing one jacket with multiple kilts. It’s something that will be close enough to your “typical” black argyle jacket but still different enough to stand out. Also what ever jacket colour you do choose would look sharp with a matching pair of hose.

Brown ❤️ goes basically with everything

I saw Jeremy Brett, my favourite Sherlock Holmes, in the thumbnail and just had to click! Great advice too.

Hey, guys! When you have these kinds of conversations, it would be more visually appealing to lay put the fabrics as you are talking through it.

I like tweed but I wouldn’t have many opportunities to wear it because of the climate here in Florida. I do have a Harris tweed tammie but a tweed jacket might not be appropriate in this heat.

Same in Louisiana.

This seems like a good place to ask while I'm contemplating options for some outfits - what is Arrochar Tweed?

Where do you submit questions for the guys to answer?

I am wondering what your opinions are on something I am puzzling over. I am awaiting delivery on a pair of trews and waistcoat in Paterson Blue. I will be wearing the trews to the London Caledonian Society Burns Night evening in January. It is a black tie event, and I am thinking about which jacket to wear. If I use a BPC, will that be okay with the tartan waistcoat? I also have a charcoal argyle that will go well with the tartan waistcoat. Opinions are most welcome from yourselves and your community. TIA.

Tweeds. Enough said.
