Lookin for a "do all" tweed jacket

[davidlpope]

These brown and Lovat and check tweeds are certainly lovely! But are they "do-all"?

Here's an example of the potential do-all-iveness (do-all-isity? do-all-ishness?) of a charcoal jacket. All these world-class pipers are wearing black save for Pipe Major Gordon Walker, who is always a cut above in the matters of dress... would a brown tweed jacket work as well in such a social situation?

In a word, yes:



As Nathan aptly points out, if we modeled our day dress on pipers, we'd all be walking around in black Argyles with silver buttons, white popcorn-top hose, chrome cantled fur sporrans, ghillie brogues, and black glengarry bonnets. There's a few folks, like P/M Huth and P/M Walker, who are worthy of emulation, otherwise I'd steer well clear...
