Jock Scot - I think we "Colonists" may have a different definition for "sport coat". We call a "sport coat" a tailored jacket (like a navy blazer or Harris Tweed) that is worn without matching slacks, and would be the work horse of a man's wardrobe. Meaning, that it spans the gap b/t semi-casual business attire, right up to (but not quite) semi-formal. I think the comparison would be:Tweed argyll/kilt/day sporran and navy blazer, khaki slacks, weejuns.

As for the poll, I think a smart choice for an all around jacket would be a dark grey tweed. It would suit at all but the most formal occasions. Get a matching waistcoat (vest, fer Yanks) if yer in a colder climate.

As for the tartan tie........ me GRANDFATHER wears one, but ........
