thoughts on tartan vest to go with Black jacket

[Nighthawk]

thanks Hothir, I can't quite get the idea out of my head. You really think it is a very formal look? i like the look of a vest that contrasts with the jacket, especially red or green, but I thought tartan might be over the top. Now the mission will be to see if I can find a tartan that will work with mine.

Interesting thing here- I just contracted Hothir to make me a double breasted waistcoat in the Albannach tartan. So personally, I think they look spectacular and would make a great look with an Argyle, or as stand-alone garments.
