Thank you all for your wonderful feedback!
Yesterday i tried different combinations: different color hose, different color shirts, tie and no tie, waistcoat and no waistcoat.
Father Bill and McMurdo- the bottle green are by far my favorite with the black watch!
Taskr- i am with you- the vest looks best and is more comfortable with a tie. I didnt care for an open collar with the vest.
Steve- your style is awesome. I like the long sleeved shirt with no tie and is a very comfortable way to dress day to day for me.

My wife thinks a black waistcoat would be better than the charcoal grey but i think that would be too dark. But i can see certain situations where that would be acceptable.

I will be getting a jacket to have for the more formal settings i find myself- but for 99% of the places i go- the suggestions all of you provided will fit perfectly!
Jock Scot- thank you for that last paragrah in your response. Made perfect sense and is great for learning when and where wearing a tweed jacket would be a great choice!
