I have emails off to two companies inquiring about dress vests. I'm a little worried about what Hamish said about matching the material from the vest to the jacket. It makes me wonder if I would be better off modifying my satin vest that would at least match a satin bow tie (also I have the vest, have the matching buttons, and am not likely to need a satin tux vest anyway- so what the heck). I dug out my white hose* which I haven't worn in a long while and found a very old satin black bow tie (which is going to be replaced immediately, it's too worn and too small). I took a few pictures trying to incorporate some of your suggestions.







Cheers


* I realize many of you said that off white would be preferable, but I wasn't very happy with the result. It seemed just off to me to have the white shirt and the ecru hose.
