I'm a bit infatuated with Cordings' overchecked tweed trousers. I can easily see them paired with a thick wool sweater and no jacket. But if I would want to wear a jacket, what would I use?
The only jackets I have of a similar weight and character are already tweed, but it would probably seem too busy to wear two different tweeds together. I have no problem using tweed jackets with denim trousers, but a denim jacket with tweed trousers would look odd. One could always buy the Cordings jacket and waistcoat in the same tweed, for that English lord-of-the-manor look, but I'm not sure I can pull that off. At least not until some unknown aunt leaves me the manor to go with the suit.
Tweed jacket with corduroy trousers works. How about corduroy jacket with tweed trousers? Or some other fabric that is obviously heavy and textured and informal but still contrasts with the tweed?
