Less Can Be More

[Dale Seago]

I'd like to acquire a charcoal tweed jacket with matching waistcoat and replace my AWOL plain leather sporran.

When I first thought of getting a tweed jacket, I figured charcoal would be the most versatile go-with-everything option. But then I found this Harris Tweed fabric and just could not resist. In low light you'd take it for charcoal with a subtle herringbone pattern, as in my photo on the previous page on the stage at Revels. But with different lighting and wearing it with a variety of differently colored kilts, shirts & ties, etc. it seems to change. Here are some pics of mine -- the first is indoors in daylight, out of the sun:





And the second is outdoors in direct sunlight:





These photos were taken about a minute apart, on opposite sides of my front door.


EDITED TO ADD: I ordered this jacket and waistcoat through the Scottish Tartans Museum Gift Shop back when they had Harris Tweed fabric as an available option. I'm not sure whether this particular pattern is available anywhere anymore, but it's nice enough that it seems it certainly ought to be.
