I especially like McMurdo's dark tweed pic... Looks SHARP! In fact, would you care to tell us where you got that wonderful jacket an waistcoat? I wantee! :-)

Certainly
It is from Hector Russell. I'd have to say it is the most versatile jacket in my wardrobe, so nice I got married in it, here is my review on it from way back when.

I have one which looks identical from a distance, but is not tweed. I agree that it's the most versatile thing I own. Add a wing collar and grey cravat, and you're good for a formal morning wedding. Drop the waistcoat and tie, wear a black silk shirt, and it works for a hippy-dippy, I dunno, sorta morning wedding.

Mine came from the Scottish Tartans Museum shop as a Crail jacket & waistcoat (though most would call it a Braemar). IIRC it's made by House of Edgar, so probably it is a fairly common stock item. But of course, you should buy it from one of our fine XMTS sponsors.

You know what, I think the phrase "hippy-dippy" may be the most accurate description here....

I think you guys have sold me on sticking with the tweed. I wasn't sure if being elevated from guest to groomsman would change what was needed. I may get a dark charcoal tweed....I've been wanting one anyway. thanks everyone!
