Advice needed please: Contrasting Waistcoat?

[dowofbuchanan]

well im not sure about the vest but now i have to spend a couple hundred on various items from the second link... damn the canes and pocketwatches and braces and hats i want them all... guess i do need a new vest if i buy a new pocket watch

First, I want to say that the first one is a little on the ***bling bling*** side for my taste, and would be hard to wear tastefully, so the second one is the one I would go for. Second... have you seen this?

Get those tails cut off by a tailor in the style of a Prince Charlie, and man! That, the vest and the kilt would look sharp!! I know what I'm saving up for now!

This is the way I wore this vest:


I have a vest with the other material as well, but I'll have to agree with those who said it might be too much for wear with a kilt. Now, as part of my gambler outfit, it's a different story.

The kilt is my major indulgence for this year; but come next spring I may just have to acquire some goodies from the Emporium....perhaps the charcoal gray cutaway coat!

Then again that MacDonald Dress Irish tartan would make a fine second kilt.

Boy, Hawk are you right! Now thats a coat! Yes I'm feeling much better thank you!

The real telling is the 'whole picture' and that involves all parts. Trial and error in front of a mirror and the 'special others' will help the most.

Man that's a nifty coat - I'm tacky enough I'd probably leave the tails on just to see people gasp and flee from dress code terror
