The Inspectors Blazer and some Navy wool flat front trousers ?View attachment 1105464 View attachment 1105465 I wanted to share these Loake 771 shoes that I had for Christmas. Not yet worn - what should I pair them with?

Just made the acquisition of this 'Brown Shetland Tweed Blazer' from Cordings. 3b, single vent.

It is really a superb, versatile, and stylish jacket (IMO) : cut, material, length (a 44 long - a perfect fit for me), detailing (numerous pockets, working cuff buttons, etc).
I only bought it two days ago and wore it with a BD shirt and jeans since, and it looks good (i know that a Tweed jacket and jeans is a nice look that some of you like @Botolph pull up with style - it was his entry in the Jim Ferguson Challenge).
But i also want to wear it in a more dress-up way. So i was thinking of pairing it with smart chinos, or wool flat front trousers, flannels maybe ?
What do you think guys ?
I think forget about any of that online nonsense that a shirt or tie or trousers or shoes might be 'too city' for it. Citified country is a great and authentic look so why not a navy tie, white shirt, grey trousers or black shoes.
I like the Cordings lining colour, reminds me of @Bela Kun's recent post elsewhere where he talks about a navy suit and maroon hankie, the same colour lining is in their covert coat and is a nice step-down from crombie red.

That look is a very old school English one and hard to pull-off. It seems to demand the most exquisite quality and cut - unless you want to look like the good ole Geography teacherI think forget about any of that online nonsense that a shirt or tie or trousers or shoes might be 'too city' for it.

Just looking back at pics of my lighter brown tweed jacket and the trou I have paired it with and IMO the grey flannel and cords seem to play the best supporting roles:Sales purchase…

I am sure it will, Monsieur. Of course, no navy odd trousers (as cov hints) are welcome around here! But 'we' know betterYes it works well, even if your jacket is of a much lighter color.
i am sure my new Shetland Blazer will work well with my Navy LVC Cords though...
