It looks good and I like the overall outfit with the tie and hose. The only thing that might help would be a nice pocket watch chain hanging from a waistcoat button over to one pocket, to kind of break up the large dark center area of the vest and jacket. Otherwise I think you have nailed it. Well done.
I've got a pocket watch being delivered tomorrow 
and I'm also planning to wear a white handkerchief - as well as a thistle buttonhole (as it's for a wedding).
It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.
