    Make that a tweed Argyle with lots of blue, then.

    I do like the thought of having midnight blue in place of black for formal accessories, though...

    Take care.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    I fully understand where you are coming from Ted. That shade of blue (as with Forest Green and deep Ruby Red) is supremely suitable for evening wear.

    Unfortunately it does not show clearly, but the tweed Argyll I am wearing in the first image IS blue-based mix in colour. It usually records as being a shade of grey in photos - a difficult one to capture accurately - but it is blue!

    Take care,
    Ham.
