Not sure about it

Rabble,
I had this jacket and vest made for me. I was unsure about the pattern, whether it's too busy. But I went ahead with it anyway. Opinions on the jacket and vest?

I like it.

Congrats Michael, on the new duds.

Busy? So what? The kilt, particualrly the tartan, is not intended to be boring, it is a statement unto itself. A jacket and waistcoat add to the charm.

If you think it's too much, wear it with a more subtle kilt.

I'm no sartorial expert.....I'd say put your sporran on for a fair call as that can make a big difference in the visual break between top/bottom. I'd also suggest a more natural light for the pic...looks a bit stark with the flash and that can make colors look different.
Still, looks a nice jacket/vest.

Great looking jacket and vest. I too would like too see it with a brown sporran, and your kilt given a twist about 2 inches to your right.

Get yourself a nice brown sporran, and you are all set!

Great jacket choice. Very sharp

Not too sure about the three button format for the jacket. Absolutely perfect tweed though. Some tweeds are supposed to be loud and or, busy, ok they do look a tad strange to those that are not used to them in cities, so what, there are plenty of people around dressed in rather more loud outfits! Whilst not suggesting that you do so, or need too, you will find, however, in a country setting the pattern will be rather more sympathetic. Don't forget that tweed patterns and colours were the forerunners in Cammo gear! Realtree? Pah!

I like the look of your jacket and the vest but I really like it when the vest is on the diagonal. Not sure if that is "proper" with tweeds. I do know it is harder to line up when you make it.

I agree with a brown sporran with those shoes. I think a cream tie would look good with a darker (even maroon) shirt. I don't have any problem with the three buttons on your vest. All of mine have five buttons except my scarlet one with three that has a low cut neck line, then the shirt and tie draws the focus. I like this look on you.
