I think it's a great Harris Tweed! And my experience suggests it's harder to find things that won't harmonize, than will. (Though the people who dressed the model have come close.)

Slacks- Flannel, twill or cord, in any color that harmonizes with ground or any color in the tweed. Includes grey flannel, medium to charcoal, olive or tan cords, and twills also in olive and tan.

Shirts - white, blue, ecru to yellow, pastel green. Solids or pencil stripes.

Ties - Anything to harmonize with above. Includes, rust, darker red, blues, olives and mixtures of above. Solids, small neat patterns and paisleys.

If you are looking for some decent brown cords that aren't old man wide wale, you might want to check out Bonobos. I know they don't get much love here, but I have a few pair of their pants and have always been pleased (at least with their cords and casual stuff). It takes a few tries sometimes to get the sizing down since they don't seem to be to consistent but shipping is free both ways. I don't want to sound like an ad for them, but they also have amazing customer service the few times I've had to contact them.

I have a couple of Bonobos cords. You can compound sales and things to the point where they can sometimes be had for around $30, at which point they're not a bad deal. And, as mentioned, their customer service really is amazing.

Doesn't bonobos have a bootleg cut on all their trousers? @Michigan Planner, I live in Detroit-ish as well, so maybe you feel my pain on lack of local sources of nice cords? frown.gif Iwill check them out though, thanks guys

They make a straight leg too. Brooks Bros has some nice cords at a reasonable price too.
