    Oh, I can see that charcoal would look very well instead of necessarily getting the blue, & would also be a better neutral for other tartans.

    Okay, that particular picture comes up blue on my screen but I can see elsewhere that it is indeed charcoal grey, which was my choice too. I wear it with my Scott Red kilt.

    Jacket colour

    As your kilt appears to be in ancient colours I would match it with a darker tweed jacket. The Ocean colour you show would look fantastic. One observation is that the gentlemen wearing brown jackets in the pictures have toned them with kilts in weathered shades, where of course green becomes brown. I have a tweed jacket from Kilts4you which is a dark green [I think it's Marton Mills' Loden Crag) with a faint black check. It's actually very good quality and only costs £189, much cheaper than some.

    Well the big day has come and gone! So much fun!

    Thanks again everyone for their opinions and input.

    I'll let a few photos tell the story of what I went with.

    Cheers

    Great photos! You did well. I think that colour blue worked out nicely.

    Great photos and not a white sock in sight, bliss. I personally like your jacket, but I'm totally biased as blue is my favourite colour. Looks like you had a great day, thanks for posting the pics.
