    advice on tweed color

    I've been looking for a tweed jacket and MacGregor and MacDuff seem to have a good deal on ex-hire jackets.

    They have this light gray "lomond" tweed:

    and this charcoal "glen orchy" tweed:

    I would prefer a jacket that would work with any kilt that I may own. I have a wool kilt in the making in MacDonald of Glenaladale:

    and the PV MacDonald modern kilt I've worn in my forum pictures up to this point:

    I would also like the option of wearing macdonald tartan in ancient or muted colors if I ever decide to. But that's not something that would happen any time soon.

    My initial preference is for the lighter gray tweed but the response to my beige linen jacket in my "too rustic?" thread makes me think that I could use others' thoughts before I buy anything.

    Note: the tweed photos are from MacGregor & MacDuff's rental website. I cropped them to focus on the tweed (the original photos were enormous) but I want to credit them as the owners.
