Vest Lapels - Satin or Plain?

You're right Alan. Let me know how the uniformal vest turns out. That's one of the ones I'm considering. The other is TUXXMAN on ebay but his doesn't have the satin lapels and is $10 cheaper That would assist with the epaulettes.

I guess for me it woudl depend on how it went with the jacket....If the vest doesn't look like it will go with the jacket or is shinier than the jacket, I wouldn't do it...but that's me and the aesthetic I find pleasing...

646, agreed. As the jacket has satin lapels, the vest should not. Its just too much. Simple wool lapels, or no lapels, would be my choice.
