Loud tweeds

[McMurdo]

I was reading Richards thread on his new jacket here:

It got me to thinking about loud tweeds, I have dabbled in louder than average tweeds before and thought instead of hijacking that thread I would start my own. So let's talk tweed Argyll jackets, what are your favourite tweeds on the louder side of things? A blue or green Lovat is a classic there is no doubt about that, I have both in my wardrobe, but what about a busier tweed or even a tartan jacket, which is your fav and would you post a photo?

I'll start with the Burns Check Argyll that I was lucky enough to find on eBay some years ago:



This photo below happens to be one of my favourite photos of me in Highland wear, this was taken at the Cambridge Ontario Highland Games years ago, I was there with my friend Nathan. They used this photo in the local newspaper and it was blown up very large indeed.



I absolutely love this jacket, it works well in the fall into the winter, not so great for the summer months as the tweed is thick but it does keep you warm in the elements and it makes a statement. I think it took me a while to gain the confidence to wear an Argyll with such a bold scheme but once I did it was liberating. I will say this is not everyone's cup of tea and it would not work as your only jacket, but if you have a collection, a bold tweed does have it's place.
