I got over thinking that my tastes and preferences were catholic (small C!) a long time ago. How nice that there's a wide range available, of tastes and preferences!

To keep the reply on topic, though, I really do like tweeds. Oh--and Jock, what's your impression of the tartan tweed Matt posted?
Absolutely no offense taken.Before I replied to your post,I took a good look at the tartan tweed that Matt posted and had to think why I dont like it! In all honesty it is a tartan that strikes me as wishy washy---neither fish nor fowl if you like and the feel of tweed is differant.

I was really talking about the more regular non tartan type of tweed that does not excite me,on the kilt front, that is.I wear tweed a lot and have a huge loyalty to it ,but again I want that essential contrast between a tartan kilt,worsted cloth,and what is worn above it, albeit a tweed Argyll and waist coat,PC or whatever.
