But without the jacket, that issue goes away, and I think it looks better to use the same material as the front. That's just my opinion, though, and I've certainly seen a lot of folks running around with a waistcoat, sans jacket, with a silk back, so apparently that's not 'wrong'.
That is kinda what I wanted to hear. More than anything, I wanted my vest project to be the best that it could be. I agree that the back matching the front is going to look best for my usage and wear.

Thanks to all!
