I would suggest either a Braemar or an Argyll Jacket, the Braemar has the same style cuff as a Prince Charlie whereas the Argyll has a gauntlet cuff, really the cuff style is a matter of choice, I find that the Braemar looks more dressy than the Argyll mostly due to cuff detail.
For Illustration purposes
This is a Braemar with waistcoat from Hector Russell

This is a Harris Tweed Argyll I was lucky enough to find used in a local tartan shop

Please excuse my hair in that last shot I was sorely in need of a cut.

ties and tweeds
Minor but related tangent....
What is the rabbles opinion on tie options with a tweed jacket.
-Should we stick with a tweed/ wool tie or can a solid silk/ polyester tie be pressed into service?
-Should colour match the jacket or highlight a colour of the tartan?
I am tending towards the way that McMurdo is doing it in the above pictures but wanted to know the opinions and options.
