Tweed day jackets (Argylls) used to be available only in Lovat Green or Lovat Blue, but in recent years Charcoal has come on the scene and is so much more versatile as it 'goes' with any tartan. Black Argylls are really too formal for day wear and should be kept for less stuffy evening dress occasions.
I especially like this tweed in charcoal. No pesky epaulets or guantlet cuffs. Unlike most tweeds it is dressy enough for a funeral, and can pass in some non bow-tie situations as evening wear if you do not have a proper coatee.

I would be curious to know if anyone has seen this jacket at any other supplier? For a few reasons I cannot recommend this source of retail merchandise, but I absolutely love the looks of this jacket and waistcoat that I purchased from them.
