Which Tweed?

[The Wizard of BC]

Well, I dunno Rocky. I'm looking at the Sett of those and it is possible that you would end up with about 185 pleats and each with only .0256" depth.

But hey, go for it. I could never pull it off but I'm sure you can.

Have you seen some of the other Tweeds from Marton Mills Highland Collection? There are some really nice ones.

[RockyR]

Yes, I've seen them. I already have a solid charcoal and an estate tweed... I've seen MM full collection (I have the swatch book), but I'm looking for something a little different, hence these two.

[RockyR]

Btw... I'm pleating to the half sett, so there will be 370 pleats.

[thescot]

top one. I like warmer colors, too.

[Highlander31]

My tastes run more on the cooler side for colors, and while I wouldn't call either of the options hideous, I would like to see something a little darker than the grey/navy/olive/maroon. Just my opinion,...which with a dollar will buy you a cup of coffee.

[KFCarter]

They're both a bit busy for my taste, but I think they could work. I voted for the top because it has a warmer feel.

[Ryan Ross]

Does anyone think the yellow is 'too loud' (ala loud macleod) or are either or both of them too busy?

To my eye, and depending on the specific characteristics of the man in question, it feel like the top would compliment an older gentleman, while the bottom would compliment a younger one.

That said, we know which one Rocky should go for.

Really though- Dark hair, dark tweed. Light hair, light tweed. That logic lends an air of cohesion to the whole person (meaning man+clothes).


[And sorry about the odd character of the above... I've been writing a SocPsych paper for the last 14 hours or so. I'm a little loopy.]

Ok...

I have dark hair, but I'm bald. I'm young-ish (32) but I'm decrepid (ask my hockey teamates).

NOW what? Hahaha

I've got jackets similar to both options that I wear to work (not kilt jackets).

I like both (obviously) but which one I wear depends on the shirt, tie and trousers I want to wear. Though I note that I tend to wear the bottom tweed (or at least mine that is similar) more than the top one as it more "subdued."

[IRISH]

i like the first one. it seems to me that it would be more versatile from season to season.
