Tweeds to go with green based tartans

[MacMillans son]

Jeff,
See if you can find a photo of HRH in a Stewart Hunting tartan and jacket. What ever he is wearing may be a good match.

I'll keep my eyes open for you.

I dont know how to clip photos from other posts Jeff, but if you look at MacMurdos post #78 in the" HRH Duke of Rothesay..." photos thread, third pic down. He is wearing a dark green and blue based tartan (Gordon ?) and a light jacket and waistcoat. I think it is a really sharp look!

Please give Laura my apologies

longhuntr74, I have taken a photo of the poacher tweed next to what StKilda Retail, class as a Highland Green tweed. The photo, on my monitor is lighter than the actual jackets but I hope it provides you with some insight in the differences in tone of colour between the two. I have just held my jacket up against the sample pic of the poacher tweed on USA Kilts and it's a very good match for colour. There are also some very nice estate tweeds on the site.

Thanks Tim Little, that's the one!

Do you mind sharing how you did that ?

Well, it may not be easiest way, but I went to the Duke of Rothesay thread, found McMurdo's post, used the Quote button to show the image URL, copied the URL and pasted it into this thread.

The hunter in the Ettrick range has my eye. It appears to be a slate greyish color with an olive or olive and blue or black window pane? Is that a fair assessment, Matt?

I also rather like the Glen Darroch, Glen Keith, Glen Jura, and Glen Fearnan...Glen Tilt too...but I think if I were going with that much color, the Fearnan would look better with my kilt.

I'd call the overstripe more of a dark grey than an olive. Here is a photo of a jacket made up in that tweed, if it helps.


(BTW, the tartan in the photo is weathered Douglas, and I think this tweed looks smashing with those colors!)
