I much prefer the bottom sample to the top.

I too am partial to the bottom sample.

Definitely the brown based tweed with the subtle windowpane pattern (top). I think it looks very smart with the tartan and colour scheme of your kilt; a lovely contrast. The other tweed is smart as well, but its overal hue is more on the green side, like your kilt. Brown based tweeds, of any pattern, are highly underused this day in age, yet that wasn't always the case not too long ago. I absolutely adore them!
By the way, the medium-weight tweeds used for my kilt jackets and waistcoats are from Lovat Mill (Kirkton Range).
Cheers,

Cheers,
I like both of them , however , I agree with Kyle , brown based tweeds are underused today .
Either would work well with most tartans , but the brown offers a nice contrast and would be my choice .

Going with tartans or matching really is an idea that needs to be forgotten about in regards to Highland wear, having said that I really like both tweeds but I agree with Kyle that Brown tweeds are not seen enough these days and for that reason I would go for the Brown. I really like my Brown Argyll and find it works with every tartan
