Matching textures; an outfit's feel
This is going to sound strange I know, but a revelation of sorts hit me when I got my first tweed kilt, and began pairing it with my three tweed jackets.
I was drawn to one particular jacket not only because the colour seemed to compliment the kilt, but also because that jacket has a fuzzier tweedier richer texture than the others, which exactly matches the feel of the kilt.
It's not something I had ever thought about or experienced before. My 16oz wool kilts had always felt like kilts feel, and a Barathea kilt jacket and a tweed kilt jacket had always felt like those things feel. No two things felt alike.
That jacket and that kilt just go together, they just do. I piped at a funeral yesterday and there was no question that that was the outfit I was going to wear.
Is this totally alien to you? Or is it something you've experienced?
