Lookin for a "do all" tweed jacket

[Tobus]

Dale, I love love love that jacket and waistcoat! IMHO, that's a perfect example of the versatility of tweed. The multi-coloured pattern really can develop a different look in different lights. Up close, people can see the complexity of the colours, while far away it comes off as a plain colour. It's surprising how even indoor lighting differences can really change the 'mood' of the tweed. Fluorescent lights give it one hue, while incandescent lights give it another. I really do think of a good tweed jacket as a 'mood' jacket (kinda like a mood ring). You just never really know what colour jacket it's going to be until you get to your destination!

I've a jacket in similar hues, albeit not as vibrant as yours. As you can see below, when this tweed is viewed up close, it consists of white, brown and green colours. From a distance, it can look like anywhere from a light grey to a greenish or brownish hue ...depending on the lighting.

So yeah, if I had to choose a "do all" tweed jacket, it would definitely be something in this range. Any tweed with a nice mixture of browns, greens, and blues in it will be a lovely choice for any occasion where tweed would be acceptable. I would stay away from a boring plain-coloured charcoal jacket, but that's just me.
