Gray would be a safe bet but a navy blazer combo would be quite interesting.

 

I like the cloth and its color! (I-ko, I-ko, un day! :great

But it is unusual and some fairly adroit harmonizing will be required. Green's natural ally are earth tones. But as this shade of green is vivid and unusual, care will need to be taken not create a crayon effect. I suspect more subdued versions within the earth-tone family will be easiest and best, but you will need to literally hold the two items together to see how well they harmonize.

I also like the suggestion of grey. Particularly since my old eye seem to detect a cast of blue hidden in the green, and greys can contain many colors, one of them being blue. So if you find a grey with a subtle bit of blue light in it, you might have something very special.

By the same token, I think these can also be worn with the right navy, again playing with their blue cast. Get it right, and it will be a very rich combination.

 

Those are very nice looking trousers. Green pairs well with some blues, some grey's and most Brown's. As they are flannel and look to have great texture I think they would pair well a camel hair SC, either grey or tan or a darker brown cashmere.

 

I was looking at those very same trousers and agree that they appeared more muted on the HY website.

I was going to reply just as the others already have. These would go with the usual suspects: navy, greys and browns. There's a reason those are the standard colours for suits/sportcoats - they are all fairly neutral and therefore can be paired with all the colours of the rainbow...although in menswear those colours are typically saved for items such as neckties and pocket squares. Enjoy those pants!

 

Orange SC with a white shirt. Duh.

 

I never like the combination of gray and green when I see it, for what it's worth, and I'm trying and failing to picture a gray herringbone tweed as attractive next to these. I can imagine a grey university stripe OCBD. Howard Yount lists them as "winter flannel," but I find that indoor lighting and flash tends to make things seem even yellower, so these might have a touch of gray in them, and Flanderian would be right (and in any case, he's got a better eye than I do). If they are a very organic sort of green, might not a very dark brown jacket look good? See a young Jane Fonda wearing that combination on the cover of, yes, a history of the color green: https://www.amazon.com/Green-Histor...p/069115936X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1426210458&sr=8-1&keywords=history+of+green.

I would have no trouble at all wearing a camel-hair jacket with these.

Or you could go full-on Bilbo (see the poster for The Hobbit, with Martin Freeman in burgundy, forest green, and tan). You might need hairy feet to pull off that look, however.

I own a gray/black herringbone tweed jacket and the pairing just doesn't look quite right to me. Though Flanderian is absolutely correct-there is blue speckled throughout the cloth-so maybe the it just takes the "right" gray jacket with these pants. The idea of camel hair is appealing. J. Crew has the cashmere Ludlow, but it's $1000 and only available in a 38R (I'm a 36R at best).

You may find you need to manage the intensity of color of the jacket you pair with it. These are color saturated which leads me to suspect more muted harmonious colors will offer better companionship.

 

There's an even more saturated green sweater here: https://askandyaboutclothes.com/com...-Inaugural-Weekly-Challenge-2015-(3-2-15)-Tweed-with-Pink&p=1671585#post1671585. Maybe a bold pattern like that, or a gun check with a hint of green, would work. Then you'd really be owning it.

I have a pair of the much-maligned dark blue trousers, likewise quite saturated, and I do wear them with a gun check SC with a hint of blue. Or camel hair. Embarrassingly, I don't (yet) own a gray herringbone tweed.

 

Plain tan, stone, light brown and light based small checks and the like work well with green trousers.

 

Hello all! On a whim, I recently ordered a pair of from Howard Yount. The images on the HY site depict fairly dark, subdued shade of green. In the flesh, however, these pants are a much more in your face, only-appropriate-for St.-Patrick's-Day kind of green. I opted to keep them because they are handsome, but I'm not exactly sure what color sport coat to pair them with. Included is a poor quality iPhone shot of the trousers, but the color is a better representation than the Howard Yount images (though still not as intense as the real thing). Any and all suggestions are appreciated

"It's the wrong trousers Grommet".

Coincidentally also green.

 

I'm still not seeing any "very green" trousers anywhere on this thread. For me very green is like the pair of chinos I own that are this colour and style:https://www.uk.all.biz/img/uk/catalog/25064.jpeg

 

When I'm thinking grey with these trousers, I imagine one of these jackets looking good.
