If you think you might want a matching waistcoat in the future, I would buy one with the jacket. That ensures that they look like a set (and that the supplier is still making the waistcoat in the desired material!).

If you like the blue tweed, I'd keep an eye on the various auction sites; I've noticed that the Lovat blue seems not to be a very popular colour (I'm not sure why not, I like it just fine). I found my lovat blue tweed J. Higgins Argyll jacket brand new for about US$50 online, and I really wish I had been able to get a matching waistcoat!
