Which waistcoat to complement a lovat green argyll jacket?

Evening Rabble,

Today I was a successful eBay bidder on a Lovat Green tweed argyll jacket. The pictures looked ok and I might have grabbed a bargain. Anyway, I fancy a waistcoat to go with it on occasion and am not going to attempt to match the jacket cloth, so I am thinking of something to complement it. Velvet? Moleskin? Any ideas?

A muted red, or a mustard are good 'country' colours.

Velvet might be a bit too up market for a tweed jacket.

Mate I agree with Chas a muted red or burgundy would go well. I have one in moleskin made to measure by Janet Steward for a ridiculously low price of £35 I think. Am wearing it in the Rumney folk festival pics.

Just checked and it's £27.50 for you skinny chaps.

Have a looksie at what Janet Steward has to offer. She's UK based and her rates for hand made are, I think, unbeatable. I've got one and it's looovely!!

Edit: Blimey... It's like we were typin' at the saame time.

I think a burgundy coloured waistcoat goes fine with a lovat green jacket. but I am bias

This one is from the Gentlemens Emporium and is made of wool. I have also been known to wear a olive green doeskin waistcoat with my lovat green jacket.
