Matching jacket and waistcoat?
Greetings, Gentlemen!
In another thread, I have read that the waistcoat should match the jacket.
This has me thinking (!) ....since Highland daywear is essentially a 'country' look.
My granfather was a Yorkshire farmer, of the school who always wore a tie and "weskit" whilst working. He was always smart (It didn't rub off!...)
Though smart, he very often wore a (tweed) waistcoat that didn't match his tweed jacket.
Now, you may say,..."That's Yorkshire...not the Highlands" and you'de be correct. But is there that much difference between the two?
The ulterior motive for this question being that I have a nice Argyle, ...and no matching weskit! weskits yes!...but more a contrast than match!
Any insight most welcome!
R.
