Tweed is earthy, maybe it's had a bit of a moment recently, but:
https://www.walkerslater.com have shops in London that you can check out in person. The webpage seems to emphasise the formal aspect a bit but you don't have to wear (or buy) the full three piece business, think they do OTP and fitted versions.
I've seen good things about http://www.tweedaddict.com elsewhere on here, quite youthful style I think, which might be a way to avoid ill-fitting traditional styles , 2-piece tweed suits a standard item.
Also https://www.walkerslater.com would be a bit more old school in style but they have shops in London that you can check out. The webpage seems to emphasise the formal aspect a bit but you don't have to wear (or buy) the full three piece shenanigans, AFAIK they do OTP and fitted versions.
Not usually earthy colours (and certainly not earth-bound budget): https://www.dashingtweeds.co.uk
Less formal jackets/trousers in twill/wool/canvas/cord/linen/earthy shades etc: https://www.old-town.co.uk
If you want to get something bespoke, now is a good time to get looking because it generally needs a few months. There is a thread... https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/182490/

Advice sought:
I'm getting married at the end of September this year, but am struggling to figure out exactly what to wear.
Neither of us are going down the traditional/super-formal white dress (her) and 3-piece suit (me).
I'm also 6'4" with disproportionately long gangly legs, so trad tailoring has a tendency to look silly on me :/ (perhaps i'm just doing it wrong, though!)
I've been leaning towards more casual suiting, stuff made from thicker cotton twill/canvas and the like, although still seeking inspiration (thinking earthy greens in general for the palate - just as I like it and this will be the venue: https://www.oczyszczalniamiejsce.pl/oferta/oczyszczalnia/)
I'm generally a fan of stuff like Albam, folk, and then Margaret Howell and co. at the pricier end (albeit I don't own any) - any other brands you'd recommend?
Ta!
