Argyll Jackets: When is a pattern too much?

[gwynng]

I have been mulling over the purchase of an Argyll jacket. I tend to like ones that are more a Harris tweed look with some texture or pattern. So does an Argyll with a pattern fight with the tartan of a kilt too much?

I am not overly fond of the grey-green or blue-grey Argylls since they bring the Austrian loden coat to mind for me. I have a black Prince Charlie, so think that a black Argyll might be a little redundant.

Thoughts or mixing a patterned tweed with a variety of tartans? Here is an example of the type of jacket I was questioning.

Too much?

Oh yes, one more question...are UK jacket sizes the same as US? Does a 44 UK correspond to a US 44?

If you wear a US 44, you will likely want a UK 46.

Try again.

Did this one work? I have the image on my computer, but it could be pulling it from the cache or something.

I can't see anything. When I copy and paste the URLs between the image brackets into my browser, the forum (as opposed to my browser) tells me it's an invalid file request.

You cannot reference images directly from your computer. It must be from a public server site like photobucket. You can copy the photo to an album in your profile and post that way as well.

OK, Chas beat me to it.

Hi gwynng,

You can't post direct from your computer; you have to have it hosted on-line somewhere like photobucket.

On to your question - what is too much?





This is a jacket of mine that is brand new, but vintage. 40 Years old, but never worn. The arms are too long for me, but if they weren't, I would wear it.

Regards

Chas

Doesn't look too busy to go with my kilt. Too long, you say....

Awesome jacket, Chas! I have one of a similar check.

I see a URL between two image tags, but I don't see an image.
