I saw some Corneliani ones that were a mottled pink and white. They were nuts

I have:

burgundy
camel
burnt orange
charcoal
olive
forest
dark brown
rust

Moleskins work in almost any color and are my goto choice for pairing with tweed jackets.

To answer another question, cuffs are a must, the bigger,the better.

Mine are flat front sans cuff. They look good in clean lines too.

Navy, camel, and darker greens.

For me, it's loden, all shades of brown, and burgundy. I haven't seen a moleskin in any other color that I've liked.

Were you stung repeatedly by a wasp recently or something?

Tan through brown colors. Green tones or navy are also nice. Burgundy seems a bit outre for a country fabric. Moleskin seems a bit too thick a fabric for cuffs to me.

For Corduroy...first choice is a darker brown For Velvet...deep burgundy (the color of Style Forum Royalty) But for Moleskin...a dark Greek should be at the top of the list for your first choice. http://www.filson.com/product/index....069837.2446003 Then a nice selection of colors here: http://www.hfwltd.com/bobb.php?b=jgh&c=6&p=1

I've been considering Moleskin for some time now
I see Aportnoy sees it as a nice match with Tweed jackets...what else does it go well with?

Can one pair it with a corduroy jacket or a velvet jacket?

By lovate, if you mean the darker earthier, heather green then that is #1. I actually dislike forest or medium green moleskin pants because they remind me of cheap field and hunting pants as do most khaki moleskin. I have seen some very nice browns, like the color of Nestle's Quick powder or a shade darker. It has a richness that is very attractive with a tweed jacket or chunky knit sweater. Burgundy to me seems a little too Ralph Lauren look book. But a burgundy jacket, in velvet or corduroy, for some reason, would be very appealing.

Corduroy I would do, velvet probably not. At least, not on purpose.... Another good jacket is camel hair.
