for those days when you absolutely cant wear a kilt...

Interesting, but a little weird! It's like a THCD day wear outfit, but for trousers. The jacket is for all intents and purposes an Argyll jacket, but long in the Saxon style. And the trousers are like trews, with a kilt fringe. Seems like an odd but interesting mash-up of Highland and Saxon styles. Perhaps intended for men who like Highland attire but aren't bold enough to wear the kilt?

I could see myself wearing that outfit to work, but without the fringe on the trousers.

I like it. Depending on how much the trousers are, I wouldn't mind having a pair of them.

Fringe is a nice touch...already have tartan pants - not trews - but never wear them...did wear them in protest when was told "no kilt."

I think I really like it. Very tailored and careful. I think it's very smart! I would live an outfit like that and I don't think the trousers would work as well without the longer argyle

I like everything about that outfit except for the fringe on the trousers. I mean, why?

I need to find more occasions to wear my Armstrong tartan trousers this fall. I've worn them in the past with black barathea jacket and a dark navy blue jacket. I keep intending to pair a tweed jacket with them but have not found the right occasion to thus far.

Same here. Apart from the trouser fringe, I really like the look.

EDIT: It appears the photo may not be very current: I've been looking around on the Ralph Lauren site for that ensemble but can't find it.

Too current perhaps... Is the fall 2012 Ralph Lauren Purple Label collection I believe, saw it in a fall copy of Esquire magazine.

Reasons. Hmmmm. Well, you get up in the morning and society frowns on your going out in your underpants. So there's reason enough to wear the trousers. Now, let's see. You live in the mountains of North Carolina. And it gets pretty chilly there in the Fall. There's your reason for wearing a tweed jacket. Problem solved.

I really like it. I could take or leave the fringe but lean toward no fringe. Great style. I agree with others here. It's the "Highland Plan For The Englishman." Lol. :-D

Me too, and I have worn similar in regards to my Saxon wear!
