But, the tweed does detract from the tartan. The tartan is, or, should be the centre of attention and your tweed and OCR's tweed interrupt the view.
In your view, is this a solvable problem, or is it just the nature of patterned tweeds? In other words, can the pattern be made smaller or larger, or be made of some different combination of colors, so that it doesn't detract from the overall look?
