Lookin for a "do all" tweed jacket

[CMcG]

If you look in my old threads there is a thread about tweed argylls and their versatility that many seem to have found helpful. Perhaps some cleaver soul here might be able to come up with a link? Thinking about what I wrote then and what others have written here, I think there is one point that I did not cover and it is this.

Whilst a tweed argyll is very versitile and is worn for many and various day events and some of the more informal evening events too(taking the wife/girlfriend/partner out to an informal, but smart, dinner for example) then there is one thing that needs to be considered. I do think that if your tweed is to be worn in the evening to events like I have described then the tweed really does not want to be too loud. Of course if more than one tweed argyll is available then this might not be a problem, but if there is going to be only one "do-it-all" tweed then perhaps a bit more thought may be required in your choice of, in particular, pattern.

Here's the thread of which you write:

That's a useful point about the loudness of a pattern and suitability for evening events. I kind of had that feeling...
