    I'm pretty much with Downunder on this...the Argyll is a definite yes (much like you see in my Avatar pic)! The Balmoral looks fine too, IMHO...but I would not pair a 5 button with a regulation doublet or PC (as DU stated).

    Like both looks, but the Argyll is a clear winner.

    I like the Argyll look better too. Though I'd like it even better if you could get a decent photo with better lighting and less contrast.

    I agree with the lighting issue. I live alone in a warmly lit flat and if I use flash in the mirror, all you see is the glare. I try to improve the pics with the limited tools on my mac but alas...

    I have a friend coming to watch the Boston Montreal game 7 tonight. Maybe I'll request some photography services.

    I think it goes well with the Argyll. I don't really care for the look with the doublet.

    A 5-button waistcoat (self-coloured or tartan) = Argyll or Sherriffmuir, in my opinion. Though, it doesn't look too shabby with your Balmoral.

    I am looking forward to the updated pictures I do think it looks fine though.

    Nathan,

    I assume you are a Montreal fan--if so, congratulations.

    I agree with the need for better photos. As you may recall from a prior thread, I was very interested in the open-Balmoral look. So I am anxious to see how it turned out.

    Thanks for your efforts.
