Tartan vest/waistcoat opinions in gernral and it's level of formality

[Tobus]

Thanks for posting those photos! I actually like that waistcoat and kilt combination better than I thought I would. The buttons on the waistcoat are more of an evening wear style, which seems to be at odds with the jacket buttons. It would be great to be able switch those buttons out to serve both purposes.

If it were me, I'd lighten up the colours for daywear. Hose in the Lovat shades or a nice brown, red garter ties, a tweed jacket, tattersal shirt, and regimental style striped tie. Maybe a knit tie would be just the ticket too. There's no need to be matchy-matchy with greens and dark colours. Throwing bits of red or yellow in the mix would help make the greens come alive.

Of course, what you have looks nice for a dressy occasion if you're wanting a more subdued effect.

Anyway, congratulations on the new kilt and waistcoat. They do look nice!
