    I agree with you Aggie, black shoes if you can.
    The blue jacket and tie don't quite happen but it's great with the green jacket. If you were to wear the Blue (which looks a little more formal IMHO) go a white shirt and black tie, black shoes. Otherwise the green jacket outfit will be fine.

    Green jacket, definitly.

    If you can, match up the leathers, and match the shoes to the leathers.

    otherwise, looks good!

    Better go with the trousers, for now. I don't think you can make that stuff match up, at all.

    After this event, follow Alan H's directions for cutting a sport coat down into a kilt jacket, get some black dress shoes and a solid-color tie.

    Like others, I would say the green jacket--especially with that color tie. Otherwise, you've got too much color diversity. Do you have a pair of green kilt hose/socks you can wear to pull it all together? I think the shoes would be OK, especially if you wear a brown belt, but I tend to feel green hose would be better.

    Go and have a good time.

    Green jacket is better
    Tie is fine
    White shirt - NOT A BUTTON DOWN
    GREEN hose if available - if not go with what you have on. & if you have to go with those hose - stick with the non-white shirt.
    BLACK SHOES

    Cheers

    Seconded. I'd go with the green jacket as pictured, but with a white shirt, white or off-white hose, and black shoes.

    Derek,

    You are such a laid back sort of guy, I would go with the green. If possible with black shoes, however what you have going is fine.

    Avoid pants if possible.

    Perhaps your lady will let you pick up the few things you need to finish up the outfit

    I think you you should go with what you have available and what you feel comfortable in.
    The majority of people will not notice anything wrong
    with your outfit and will think you look great!

    You have to remember that the people on this board are not the general public.
