Lookin for a "do all" tweed jacket

[thescot]

I live near Wil and can attest that my heavy wool jacket is a bit too warm for much of the year. You can get lighter weight if you order it or find a nice jacket you can have tailored.

As to charcoal, it's a great do-all and very dressy. I wear one for dressy outings and when wearing a clerical collar because it's so . . . plain.

But overall, I concur with Sandy. A multi-colored tweed tends to change its look with a change in the light and the other colors you have on. I own a tweed jacket for cooler weather that works with grays, browns, or just about anything else, and you'd swear it was mostly one or the other depending on my trouser color.
