I'm a big fan! This is by far my favorite kilt jacket.
This is my Harris Tweed and I would echo Jock's advice and go for something with a little bit of colour in it. The overall effect will be gray from a distance, softer up close and then all of those evening when you sit back to relax with a fine single malt you can enjoy the plethora of colours that present themselves which you wouldn't otherwise notice:
My Harris Tweed (just lovely):
I was actually just thinking the other day that I must get around to tracking down some more of this and getting a waistcoat made.
My day to day non-kilt (saxon) jacket (I can't remember where the tweed is from off hand but I think it is a John G Hardy alsport) if you look closely enough you can just see the slightly darker overcheck:
A shot of the gauntlet cuffs on my kilt jacket:
I happened to have this photo of the buttons showing the Loch Sunart light stag horn buttons and the mid brown real stag horn buttons that were on the jacket (I ended up staying with the mid brown in this case).
