See anything like this before?

I ordered a tweed jacket and vest.

Could use a little direction on shirt colors.

The tweed jacket and your sporran both point in the direction of traditional Day Dress, and for Day Dress the traditional thing would be white "tattersall" check, or plain.

The same shirts would be worn regardless of the colour of tweed and the colours of the tartan.

Here's the shirts I have in my closet. You can see the sort of collar, not the common US point collar, and not button-down. They all have variations of the "tattersall" 2-colour equidistant-check pattern.

I saw shirts like this all over the place in Britain but here in the USA they're scarce as hen's teeth.



I have three tweed jackets, charcoal grey, Lovat green, and brown.

I wear any of those jackets with any of my kilts and wear the same shirts, ties, bonnet, and hose with any of those jacket/kilt combinations. Co-ordinating can happen but in general there's no attempt at "matching" except when I'm doing the thing which was very popular in the 1920s through 1950s which was to match the hose colour to the tweed colour (picture at right).

The modern thing is for the hose to contrast with the tweed of the jacket (other photos).
