Tweed overcoat

[Jay Gatsby]

I have a tweed overcoat that is a bit rough looking. Rough looking as in tweed, not as in worn. What sorts of things might I wear the coat with? What should I avoid wearing it with? Not going to post pics.

Anything you would otherwise wear an overcoat with.

A thong? Oh, never mind. You're not going to post pics.

tweed thongs are a good choice.

I wear my tweed greatcoat with pretty much everything in the winter. If I'm actually thinking wardrobe rather than keeping warm, I wear stuff that complements the texture and tone: winter weight wool pants in natural colours, sweaters, sweater vests, hugewool scarfs, tweed cap etc. For me, the biggest dissonance is with very fine woven fabrics. Coarser is better.

Thanks. Should I be careful not to mix other tweed textures or colors with my overcoat? Or is that alright?

I'll wear up to three tweeds ... but they must coordinate.
Coat, Overcoat, Hat ... each different.
