Urgent Accessory Advice Needed!!

[Mahagonny Bill]

Help! I'm taking this jacket on a trip this weekend.

The question is, black or brown accessories? To me, the jacket is gray/green in color, but the label calls it "Olive Brown". I was going to pack black shoes and belt, but now that I look at it I may need brown. Please give me your opinions soon as I need to be packed by tomorrow night.

You could never go wrong with black in that.

Brown works as well and gives it a bit of a sporty edge.

I would do brown, but i like brown a lot more than black.

Brown. But I'm biased, anyways. [huh]

Probably black is better for if you're going somewhere a bit more formal, and brown if you're trying to look more casual.

Is it a Tilley jacket? Because I'm certain that I've seen that exact jacket before.

On a trip to where for what?

Both would work but I'd do brown.

Thank you Gentlemen.

It's good to know that I was correct thinking that either would work. I have worn this with brown, but this time the rest of what I'm packing goes with black. I was worried that it wouldn't work, but you have reassured me.

The trip is just a weekend to Victoria B.C, but we want to have tea at the Empress Hotel where jacket and tie are expected. We are going by boat so I need to pack light.

The jacket is a Tilley. It is part of their "Urban Traveler" collection. I picked it up with matching slacks a few years ago when I needed a packable suit. The material is microfiber, but it has a nice feel and does not look polyester. After tailoring it almost looks like a late 50's suit.
