Lovatt blue question

[gazbot]

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

[David Thorpe]

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.

Depending on the shade of blue in the jacket (as well as the tartan), it might look a wee bit better with the Lamont Ancient, but I suspect it will look fine with the Modern as well. Post pics when you get a chance.

What David said. It's not really a desirable thing to have the jacket "match" but rather co-ordinate, or contrast. If the jacket matches the kilt then the two things become one big blob, visually.

One "t" by the way, Lovat.

Lovat Blue and Lovat Green are so popular because they're fairly neutral and they look good with just about any kilt.

Here are some examples

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!
