Which tweed for my jacket?

I'm actually in the above bottom photo, Nathan, yet am out of sight - hidden behind the Bratach Uaine, or the Green Banner of the Clan Macpherson. Many Macpherson men, to include Cluny, prefer the plain tweed kilt jackets to their more "ornate" counterparts. However, when thinking about all the of the Macpherson men present at our annual gathering and rally in Scotland, I would say the ratio is about equal. Here's a wonderful photo of Cluny and Sandy Macpherson of Edinburgh, both wearing the same "Cluny's Tweed," yet Cluny's is plain, whilst Sandy's has all the bells and whistles, so to speak. In my opinion, and in agreement with the excellent points made by Calgacus, because of the cut and the type of tweed, both jackets look very, very smart.
