    As I see it in this particular picture rather than tartan the cap and jacket Bernard is wearing seems to be more of a burnt orange tweed. (Or I've seen in some iterations that color called saffron.) My idea of saffron is more mustard colored but I've seen this one too. Either way if I had a tweed cap and jacket in that color I'd wear it without a second thought.

    Cheers!



    Strangely I'm glad this thread keeps getting updated. Judging by the number of thread views for it I'm obviously not alone.

    Thank you, starbkjrus!
    The story here is that I fell in love with the look of that tweed after seeing the movie as a child. That was when I started wearing driving caps. I even had a little stuffed doll of Bernard. The animaters were wise to pick the complementry red-ish orange to go with the gray mouse color. Anyway, guess I'm sticking with tweed. I almost plopped this picture down in the tartan forum.

    And this gardening thread kind of... grows on you.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
