Always been a fan of brown myself

With Chris H on this one. Charcoal.

Brown.

I have grey as well. Charcoal/Natural to be precise.

I like them all. Charcoal is easiest to live with. Green tweed can look wonderfully old fashioned in the right context.

No love for the blue then?

green, then brown, then gray

gray can wash me out

I have two blue which I like.  I also have an orange/rust which I enjoy.  I don't have a basic grey in my closet.

I only have one realy old(1955) Harris Tweed(English - still need to take it to the tailor to be cut down a tad) and it's a tan/brown herringbone.

Watching The Graduate right now - giving me a real craving for a grey herringbone!

I say gray, although I reach for brown more. Green i reserve for corduroy jackets.

Edouard hits in on the head, the good old gamekeeper and rapscallion poacher tweed. I had a some good Holland and Sherry cloth somewhat spoilt by a tailor last year, the cloth is still excellent and people comment on the jacket, even when its hanging up on a coat hanger at my desk in work.  Country in town, often works, particulary when you're not in Blighty.

There's also some magnificant, heavy twist worsted cloths. I've a brilliant Reid & Taylor Silver Gander cloth suit - the trousers can almost stand by themselves, but its definitely for the winter only.  That type of cloth is rare these days, it has presence, I need more of it.  Also I'm very attracted to plaids these days. Again, only won by those in the know.

... Let's move on then:

Harris Tweed?

Cheviot Tweed?

Shetland Tweed?

Donegal Tweed?

All the rest?

Harris will have a hallmark, and be rough, ungainly and as itchy as a hair shirt. If its vintage, a mere drop of drizzle is enough to create a strong odour of public lavatories.  Generally looks shite, unless its in a brown or grey herringbone. Then its a classic.

The Irish tweeds get my vote.
