Well guys, thanks for all of the advice and opinions. The wife and I went out shopping yesterday on a mission to buy a solid, bottle green, tie. None were to be found, but we did happen upon some nice sweaters, and I remember seeing some pics before of kilts and sweaters, and I really liked the look. I don't remember who it was here, other than they were posed with their motorcycle, and I think they lived in Canada, but the look was very sharp. So, I ended up buying a nice Chaps oatmeal/off white sweater, and a dark green dress shirt (that I wanted to get for work anyways). I decided to go with the off white hose, because the darker tan (can't remember the officila color name) looked too dark, and I didn't think my bottle green hose would do it. I used my green flashes, as well.

Here are the pics my wife took this morning:



I got several great comments from everyone at work, and I felt really good with my choice. Overall, the event was casual, and I think I ended up fairly smart casual.

billmcc, thanks a million for the link to the waistcoat. That's definately within budget, and will probably be at my doorstep within a few weeks.
