Jock,
I very much appreciate your valuable advice, and totally concur with you. I have changed my mind, and will go with the more conservative one button tweed as shown below.

Waistcoat"

Tweed that I have selected:

Here is the material that I have chosen and the jacket/waistcoat details, buttons I have chosen are the leather covered buttons, not the ones depicted in the photo below.

During the past several days I have been thinking about this over and over, and even though I love the jacket, as you have taught me since I have come on this board, keep it simple and conservative, and that is the best way to go. Well you have convinced me and I thank you so much, and I have chosen not to cross that line. So I am going in a better direction, I believe you will like the choice above better. I do. FYI the match waistcoat is of the same material and very standard. Again thanks
