If you are thinking along the lines of a Charcoal grey TWEED Argyll jacket, well, that would be best worn with a tie and constitutes smart day wear.

Tweed day jackets (Argylls) used to be available only in Lovat Green or Lovat Blue, but in recent years Charcoal has come on the scene and is so much more versatile as it 'goes' with any tartan. Black Argylls are really too formal for day wear and should be kept for less stuffy evening dress occasions.

I especially like this tweed in charcoal. No pesky epaulets or guantlet cuffs. Unlike most tweeds it is dressy enough for a funeral, and can pass in some non bow-tie situations as evening wear if you do not have a proper coatee.

I would be curious to know if anyone has seen this jacket at any other supplier? For a few reasons I cannot recommend this source of retail merchandise, but I absolutely love the looks of this jacket and waistcoat that I purchased from them.

Graham, I also like this day look in blue lovat. It would look great with that brown day-sporran of yours. Just the matching waistcoat and a nice shirt would look good as well. It might be hard to pair up with some tartans, however.

Here is another nice jacket from the Kilt Store (with discounts for Xmarks members)

Graham,

I was just looking at that one along with a vest.

Unfortunately, even with the discount, duty and Canadian taxes will take it above what I can have them made for, here in Ottawa.

AND, The roofer is coming to give me a price on a new roof today or tomorrow. So much for the 'kilt budget' for a while.
