    Tan/brown tweed jacket and waistcoat

    I have a wedding of a good friend coming up and I was asked to wear my kilt. I am currently without a jacket and waistcoat. Therefor I have been looking for suitable tweed. I have been quite taken with the tan and brown tweeds.

    Does anyone have pictures to show off of their tan or brown tweed? If you refuse to wear it in the photo please lay your kilt out with tge jacket and waistcoat.

    One of my favourite Argyll jackets is a brown one that I found on consignment at a local tartan shop, it is Harris Tweed with horn buttons and was made sometime in the 40's or 50's




    I do not have a waistcoat for it, but even if I did this tweed is such that I may not wear it with a waistcoat anyway as it is very thick.

    Re: Tan/brown tweed jacket and waistcoat

    I love the browns as well. Heritage of Scotland has an offering in Harris Tweed called "Field Speckled" that is on my list of somedays.

    This one is a professional conversion I had done by my local alteration shop.



    This one has quite a bit of green in it but is a good bit brown as well:



    I have one on order from USAkilts that is a rust/brown that should be here by Christmas, and I am really looking forward to that one as well!

    Go for it!!

    The gent in the brown tweed jacket here is Brian Wilton, of the Scottish Tartans Authority. These were taken at the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games in 2009.


    The tweed, I believe, is Lochcarron's 'Gamekeeper" tweed (which you can order from the STM gift shop here).

    Gorgeous...

    And the jacket is nice too...
    Actually, I'm quite enamored with that patterned tweed. Very nice.
    Have fun and throw far. In that order, too. - o1d_dude

    If you want something with a pattern to it you could always look into an Argyll in the Burns Check. I purchased this one on ebay for a very good price

    You didn't specify which style of jacket you want.

    Here is one of my Kilt Kut Suit coats.




    And there are many brown tweeds. Can you narrow it down just a bit.
    Here are just a few.
