Bow tie with 5 button waistcoat?
I have seen it recommended that black argyle jackets pressed into service as black tie outfits are best worn with a three button waistcoat, à la Prince Charlie jackets.
Of course with black it is easy enough to find a matching three button waistcoat but it seems like one would have a lot of trouble finding one for a green or navy barathea argyle.
Could the matching five button waistcoat that the jacket presumably came with be used without raising eyebrows? Or is a five button waistcoat just too high for a bow tie?
