What is the most versatile color/pattern for a tweed coat?
Hi, I’m considering buying a tweed Balmacaan coat and I’m undecided about which pattern is the most versatile and suitable for different occasions.
Specifically, the two patterns I like best are brown houndstooth and dark gray herringbone.
To give some context, I already own a navy herringbone coat and a green loden coat, so I’d like a coat that complements them in both color and pattern.
As for my style, I dress smart casual for work (OCBD, sport coat, chinos/corduroy/gray flannels depending on the season), and in general, I like the style of Drake’s and similar brands.
Right now I’m considering these models; if anyone owns any of them and can give me feedback on any of them, I’d appreciate it.
I’m also open to other suggestions in this price range (up to roughly €500 on sale) as long as they’re easily purchasable from Europe (no duties/taxes).
Thank you so much!
