We found FI's suit a few weeks ago and we wanted a 3-piece (GMs will be wearing 2 piece gray suits in a lighter color gray) but there were no 3 piece suits available and the one we found was just perfect in every other way. So now we are on the hunt for a vest for this suit. We'd ideally like to match the color but if that's not possible then just nothing shiny. Anyone got any ideas or places to look?

Suit pics attached.

This one may be too dark, but it's hard to tell:

If you can't find a vest that you like have y'all thought about maybe him wearing a different color shirt to seperate him from his GM? Good luck!!!

Is that an Alfani Red suit? This might be the same grey:

But I'm not sure about the stripes underneath the plain jacket. Anyway, the best advice I've read about trying to add an odd vest to a grey suit is to either do a tattersall vest or a gingham vest in a lighter color. It's a bit sporty, but will create more contrast:
