Luxury Tweed Argyll Jacket

[RunTheWorldOnMac]

Good evening,

I am looking to add a tweed jacket. I saw a color swatch which was listed as Fen Green which I think may have been Green Fen Lovat. Looking at your luxury tweed colors online, I suspect it is similar to your Forest Green. Does this sound fair? Would you say the difference between forest and highland green is that the highland has more blue? Forest appears more subtle.

I am looking for a jacket that would go with Royal Stewart and Fraser Hunting Muted. I also have Dark Isle that I think it would work too.

Does any of your tweed come with a chevron?

Scott: May I ask to whom your questions are addressed? They suggest that you may be making inquiries to someone who you assume is a dealer in tweed jackets. If so, you are mistaken. This is an open (with certain broad exceptions) forum about kilts and all manner of Scottish attire and accoutrement. We'll be happy to help you if we can, but I doubt anyone on the forum can address your very specific questions about tweed and its colors.

Cheers!

In all fairness John he has posted this in the sponsors sub forum for Buyakilt, so if the question is addressed to Buyakilt its where it should be. Cheers.

Simon: Thanks for the clarification. I did not notice that Scot's post was in a vendor forum (buyakilt.com). He'll probably get a response on Monday.

No worries my friend. Hope you are having a great weekend.

Hi Scott,

We do indeed monitor this forum so will usually pick up questions here, although I would suggest that for a quicker response, it's better to email info@buyakilt.com directly. We aim to respond to emails within 2 working hours during our office hours (Mon-Fri 09:00-17:30) and the customer service guys/girls are pretty good at doing that. Me on the other hand...

I've created a ticket in our support system for you now with your message above. I found your email address from your order last year - I was sure I remembered talking to you on here before. I remember wondering if your username was about the Apple products, or about Scottish Clans (being a MACdonald!). I suspect the former and hope the latter!

We'll get back to you properly in the ticket, but for reference to others:

Fen Green is not a colour I'm familiar with. If it's a 'Lovat' shade then it's usually a bit dusty or 'faded!', while the Highland and Forest Greens area bit richer and brighter. Both are nice, and it does appear that the Highland has more blue in it, but Rachel will confirm after looking at the swatches.

we have swatches of these fabrics which we can send out if required, and usually have them around the office so Rachel should be able to advise on the colours more accurately.

I don't think any of the tweeds are herringbone, but again we can double check tomorrow morning.

Based on the tartans you've suggested, I wonder if a grey tweed might be nice? The charcoal is a regular dark tweed, but we also do a Lochinvar Grey Tweed (which is my favourite) which is similar to our Grey Tweed Jacket. Photo 2 on the product shows the fabric quite well.

Hope this helps and will get back to you fully tomorrow morning.
