You have lost me on the "boiling frogs" thing, I am afraid.

I can't say that I recall ever seeing a grey waistcoat worn with a black silver buttoned argyll, but it sounds a fine idea to me. I often wear "regimental" style ties when wearing a black silver buttoned argyll and often a silver tie too , but my favorite "wedding tie" for this outfit is a very dark blue(almost black) tie with small red, or white, or yellow ,or green dots, just a bit smaller than oohh, er, well, 9mm.
Thank you, Jock, for your reply. I assure you that there were no ruffled feathers on my part, I was just surprised to infer (incorrectly) that the grey waistcoat and tie might be considered a poor choice to some, and I apologize if my reply came off as being "prickly" - it was not intended that way.
