There is something unimaginatively handsome about grey tweed. It's like Miles said, a way to wear casual clothes around the city and not be considered outre. The human eye can pick up and register finishing as well as color, and thus, no one will believe it to be a work suit.

I think you can wear a grey or black and white tweed with darker charcoal flannels.

In a black and white herringbone Harris tweed youve got a Fogey suit, especially when worn with a white ocbd and a black wool tie or a silk/wool poplin tie. In the Porter and Harding "Glorious Twelth" swatch book, which is essentially worsted cloth shaded and patterend to resemble tweeds, the black and white herringbone when worn with a pinpoint white button down and a black silk knit tie is old-boy-hip.




Ive seen blue-grey tweeds that are sort of heathery with colored flecks and look good. A true solid navy tweed sounds useless to me.

Rules!?

You mock me sir!
