My wife hates my new jacket

You know, what we like or don't like is simply a matter of personal perception and preference. If she doesn't like the colour combination, she never likely will - at least not in the near future.

A portion of what we do should always consider the wishes of those who are precious to us. Life's better that way.

If you are dead set to wear brown and purple together, why not try to find her something she can wear- a scarf or a sweater- that shows the color combination to good effect? If she sees them together in a beautiful paisley or a nice fair isle knit, she may admit that they work together. Or she may simply dislike the scarf.

As we say here on the wrong side of the tracks, "If mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy."

As Barb suggested... Change the socks.

Generally if the outfit works without the kilt, the kilt colour doesn't matter.

Normally I wear blueish socks but I just got those in the mail so I thought I'd wear them . I actually bought them to dye them so that's my next project , both jackets only cost 7 bucks so im not out much

Hmm, I'm guessing the jacket wasn't made for you - it looks to be for a taller man? The fabric looks to be in good condition, so it would lend itself to restyling as a kilt jacket but might be a somewhat bigger exercise that usual. Well worth the effort if you like tweeds.

I don't see a problem with the colour combination but then Father Bill makes a good point!

And arguably, tweed jackets worn with Highland day attire that are in virtually any shade of brown will pair nicely with almost any tartan, in almost any colour scheme.
