I have a light brown tweed with blue in it, so blue shirts and ties are obvious--but nice--combos. Yellow works, too. My dark brown tweed has red in it, and plays nicely with pink, purple/lavender, and yellow. The gray with navy herringbone tweed has flecks of tan and brown, so it goes with blues, yellow, and rose brown (a pinkish brown, most recently popular in the 50s). Of course, they all look great with an Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders tie--but then again, doesn't <i>everything</i> look great with A&SH?<br /><br />Now, for some nice green tweeds.

I wonder if it might not be even better with a different color shirt, say, yellow, or green. Either of those colors in a university stripe might give it another level of interest without going overboard (as that has already been done by the pants ;-)Young Fogeynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-83442404636012311822009-10-29T08:01:58.784-07:002009-10-29T08:01:58.784-07:00How is it folks in cambridge keep picking up Burbe...How is it folks in cambridge keep picking up Burberry macs nwt for so cheap?<br /><br />oh and I think an off-white cable knit or RAF sweater would look great with those cords.Horrible Old Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14515840430812106807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-12443237379186756662009-10-29T06:17:06.286-07:002009-10-29T06:17:06.286-07:00I like it a lot.

The lapels look short like in a 3-button. <br /><br />I now have about a half dozen jackets with too-long sleeves that need shortened badly. I can't bring myself to have even the favorites tailored for $20 or $30, though. I think Mrs. Churchman may be up for the challenge, especially when I present her with our fiscally-frightening alternatives.

Oh, and I'm a woman.<br /><br />Your go to hell pants reminded me of a look I put together last week only my pants were green, (from Lands End) a purple twin set, pearls, a silk scarf as a belt and a R. Lauren tweed jacket. My husband just looked at me and said "Green pants, huh?". To which I confidently replied, "Yes, they are are my go to hell pants(he knew I wasn't saying that TO him) and they cheer me up on this gloomy day" (it was raining and I wore the Burberry too - it's 19 years old). <br /><br />I actually got the color combo from "The Satorialist"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-26576813387809321292009-10-28T23:11:55.703-07:002009-10-28T23:11:55.703-07:00I wanted a pair of those colored cords last year, ...I wanted a pair of those colored cords last year, but put it off for too long.

I'm dying to see what crazy mix-and-match combinations I can come up with. I think I'll even go for yellow and orange - just to complete that "fall leaf" look. Hah.<br /><br />Thanks again G for being yourself and for all the inspiration!ScottyAlexandernoreply@blogger.com
