    Hi!! And welcome to the mad house!

    Well, I wear the same tartan, and I find that most things match really..... So:

    I know this is not a jacket, but Arran creme goes very nicely on the top. Cream hose always look good too (I think it is possibly because it picks up the white check).
    Black jackets look really sharp because of he contrast - but they do emphasise the brightness of our tartan (which I have described before as being bright enough to stun coos at 20 yards).
    My ancient (photos below) is more orange than red, and because of the greens and orange, brown looks really good too - darker, rather than lighter.
    Because of the blue in the tartan, a Lovat blue tends to go nicely too.
    Grey tends to pick up the thin white check too.
    I have recently bought a P-37 ex mil Khaki jacket which goes nicely too, and I also have a bottle green patrol jacket which also picks up the green (though, in my opinion is slightly the wrong colour)

    In my opinion, we can get away with pretty much any colour jacket - but, I have a lot of trouble trying to stop anything making the tartan stand out quite so much and peeling the paint of near by cars......

    It sounds like your Roxburgh may be more redder than mine - but these might give you a few ideas!
