Vest and jacket match?

[MacRobert's Reply]

Not a great photograph and it was taken at 2 am after a St Andrew's day dinner and a night of wild dancing. The jacket is lovat green tweed. The waistcoat is dark green doeskin.

CMcG, Check your closet that lovat green jacket has the right pocket flap partially tucked in both photos, I don't think it was the same day.

No pics of my own, but I like the look of non-matching. Makes things more visually interesting.

Not wearing the clothing in this picture, but you get the idea. It's my favorite vest and tweed jacket combo.

Wow! I must say, many of you chaps have pulled this look off exceptionalyl well...good on ya! I have several coloured, 5-button waistcoats made by House of Bruar, that I sometimes wear with my various tweed day jackets, quite a smart look.

Cheers,

Hahahaha Yes, I've noticed that in those pictures from different days. The jacket is back home in Canada but it seems to like to have a partially tucked pocket flap. I'll give it a stern talking to when I get home!

Just got this fabric to make up another vest. I think the first combination will totally kick @ss! First photo, with Leatherneck kilt, taken without flash so colors are more true. Second photo with flash and the Blackwatch variant kilt, colors are obviously affected by flash but may still work -- we'll see, when the vest gets done.

I love your choice of fabric, Sydnie! It would also look rather smart as a jacket for Highland day attire. I absolutely adore hill-checks and patterns.

Cheers,
