But the high-buttoned waistcoat doesn't really lend itself to black tie. I'm still a dunce at all the different levels of fancy dress; what would you guys say this jacket/waistcoat combo fits best with? Just "evening wear" but not "black tie"?

Sorry for the slight threadjack, but...
I think you are right, Tobus. It is a six button waistcoat, so does not automatically slot into our 3 button / 5 button categories, although it doesn't look to be cut higher than a normal 5 button. Although, not strictly speaking 'black tie', I think it could be worn with a black bow tie to good effect.
