What tartan would suit this Jacket ?

[Hiram]

Hi all,

I'd like some advice. I love the look of the jacket below so much so it's crazy. At the moment I have a BW kilt and a Prince Charles Edward Stuart Modern kilt. I'm looking for a good reason to justify buying a USAKilt Semi Trad ;). LOL

What Tartans would go well with this jacket ? Would any of the two I already own work well ?

If you like it, Hiram, it will work with every tartan.

Personally, I don't like it. 'Stripes and checks', not sure that they go together. But in the end, it is what you are going to feel good in, not what I feel good in.

Regards

Chas

The brown looks a little too mauve for it to look good with a red tartan like your Prince Charles Edward Stewart (who knows in real life; you'll have to buy it to know for sure), but it would look great with your Black Watch.

I am sorry, but to my mind there is not a tartan in this universe, that will go with that jacket.

This one might be better even great with the BW.

I'm a pin strip 3 piece suit kind of guy which is why I like the first coat, but now that I see it with a checkered pattern as you said Chas, you may be right.
SlackerDrummer can you past the BW with the second coat for me ?

Another thing this is for a friends wedding, it's formal enough as day wear goes I hope. I have a black PC and a black Argyle but wanted something out of the ordinary.

[SlackerDrummer]

A much better choice in general. I'd change the buttons on it, but it's very nice.

Sorry Brother I am no fashion expert by a long chalk but I dont think that the stripes will go with any tartan. However it may go with a suitably matched plain tweed kilt?

I think your second combo would look quite good with something like an Isle of Skye or other "autumnal" or predominantly dark coloured tartans.

SlackerDrummer I fear you may have just started something, now I was just thinking of how a Cameron of Erracht Ancient would look against a loden crag Braemar jacket .........................

It's actually quite brilliant what Slacker did !!!!

Any suggestions on hose ??

Yes the second combo is the way to go thanks guys !!! The only sad part is no one suggested a new kilt for me to buy LOL
