Argyll vs. Braemer?

I know it will add to the expense a wee tad, but might I suggest getting a matching waistcoat(vest) at the same time. You really won't regret it, as it will give you more options.

Further on this, should you go with the waistcoat, have a tweed back and not satin. I forgot to order this option on mine and regret it. It will look much better should there be times you decide to not go with the jacket.

Nice looking tweeds Rob, been drooling over some myself. I was looking at a bespoke hunting tweed, price nearly blew me off my chair.

On a question of taste, what would the most versatile colour for a waistcoat be? I was thinking with either Boyd, MacKenzie, or MacKay a black waistcoat would go with black, charcoal, or, maybe even, grimace, dark navy, okay maybe not navy! Never was a gashion geek, but gotta look professional.

For me, I choose my tweeds with an eye to wearing them when I am in the classroom in addition ot wearing them with my kilts. I'm going to order two more tweeds with waistcoats to augment my teaching wardrobe this fall. I refuse to dress like everyone else, preferring to have a bit of style and flair over the usual khaki's and polo's.
