    You know, there would certainly be a market for a GREY Argyle and vest that wasn't tweed but rather the same weave as the Barathea...that would certainly be acceptable as day wear, eh?

    I have seen grey morning coats and suits. One could buy (or rent) a pale grey vest and wear it with darker argyll. Apparently, in places where a morning coat may be worn fairly often, they are available in a wide range of colours, though probably not with the approval of traditionalists. I expect they are considered a little like the colored dinner jacket in the US. And then there is THIS:

    That is a morning coat, or an approximation of one.

    Well, that proves that even Ralph Lauren has a sense of humor...

    ...a sick sense of humor but a sense of humor nevertheless...

    It's funny how tartan can bleed on to other garments, eh?





    Oh yeah, on more serious note, worth saying again: "within reason and good taste." Maybe don't wear the Loud MacLeod with matching tartan vest, this time around ...

    On a more serious note, there are those of Clan MacLeod that might take a dim view of your comments.
