Lovatt blue question

**gazbot** · 21st February 13, 05:11 PM

In your humble but well appreciated opinions, would a lovatt blue jacket look wrong with a Lamont Modern kilt??

Color matching is a largely American perspective on TCHD. If you like a Lovat blue jacket, get it and wear it regardless of whether it matches your kilt.

Definately so David.
I have blue/green and red based kilts and wear charcoal, green (one with an overcheck), brown checks and light grey jackets with, and with out waistcoats

It would look just fine. If you want to pair it up with a pair of lovat blue kilt hose, all the better. But regardless, it would look just great.

Short answer: no.

No. Simple.

I agree it would look fine. But while I used to think it was great to coordinate the hose colour with the jacket, I strongly avoid this now!

The point I was trying to get across is that if one wears a tweed jacket and lovat mixture hose of a similar color, then it hardly matters what tartan the kilt is in, because the whole outfit will tie in together. But I agree with you, there are often other more interesting color combinations available to one with an eye for it.
