    I don't see anything wrong with any of those combinations. If anything, I think they are great examples of wearing nice traditional jacket colours without trying to be matchy-matchy to the kilt, and doing it well.

    The green jacket pairs surprisingly well with the yellow.

    They all look good, I may try the Brown sporran with the Yellow & Lovat Green, however all in all you look great. I am left to wonder what colour hose you are wearing though.

    Thanks, the yellow with green didn't look wrong to me but great to hear others think it works.

    Thanks! My usual attire for work is a sport jacket so I think that has helped with my ability to find items that compliment each other and avoid the desire to have everything match.

    Thanks! I have navy hose on but have black, bottle green, olive and a lovat blue depending on what would work best. I also appreciate the sporran suggestion; I think that would probably work better.

    Appreciate the feedback everyone!

    I also realized I had another waistcoat in my closet that I think would pair well with the blue coat. A deep rich brown herringbone that I think provides a nice colour and texture combination that is lacking with the light brown waistcoat.

    I love 'loud' tartans (as long as they are not unnatural colours such as neon pink, fluro orange, etc). A bright coloured kilt such MacLeod looks fantastic especially coupled with tweed or barathea

    Black works too IF you have it.

    I think this waistcoat would work well with the MacLeod of Lewis, either by itself or with the Lovat green jacket.
