Those bottle green formal jackets and waistcoats such as can be found in the Charlie Coatee and Brian Boru styles have me both intrigued and perplexed. The design is such that they demand a bowtie be worn with them, definitely consigning them to the realm of formal wear. Yet, when is it appropriate to wear green?

I especially like the looks of the Brian Boru and think that it could prove handy having a formal jacket in the wardrobe. However, is green as limiting as it appears?
