Coloured Waistcoats

There's been a bit of a backlog at the tailors, so not yet. Matt has the situation well in hand and I'll post photos once they arrive.

Cheers David!

I have a question (for you and the rabble), when one wears a an 'open' doublet, say for example, a Sheriffmuir or Regulation, or perhaps a coatee of some sort, done entirely in velvet, and one wishes to wear a different coloured waistcoat with the velvet doublet or coatee, should the waistcoat be made of velvet as well, or would it be okay (would it look smart) if the waistcoat was made out of a different material...let's say, barathea wool?

I understand that most 'open' velvet doublets and coatees will come with a matching velvet waistcoat, but I am curious about wearing a non-velvet, solid coloured waistcoat with it's velvet doublet or coatee. Does my question make sense?

Cheers,
