Seems to me they should match. However maybe a vest could be different.

****Hemingway Jones said:Is that a peaked lapel white dinner jacket? That is the Holy Grail of vintage dinner jacket. Very nice indeed.
I'll have to take another look at that. It's on cable daily, afterall.John in Covina said:****
I like the DB Peak Lapel Dinner Jacket Arnie wears in True Lies.

Also, what about a jacket with peak lapels and a cummerbund(black to match a black bowtie)?
******Briscoeteque said:What kind of hat can you wear with black tie? Aren't top hats tails only? And the black-tie only dinner jacket, if I was going for an early 60's lounge look, and the tuxedo was closely tailored and had a maroon linining, would wearing a maroon bow tie be criminal? And what should be worn around the waist? Could a cumburbun be black, because I'm having trouble finding one that exactly matches the tie I picked up.

The buttons aren't as tight together but close enough.

I think I've figured out what look I'm going to go for, what would you guys say to this combo?
White dinner jacket
Burgandy cummerbund
black bowtie(possibly bat-winged, depending on what I can find)
plain-front(non-pleated) french-cuffed shirt w/wing collar
black tuxedo slacks w/velvet stripe
patent leather oxford
Too much clashing, you think?
I figure, our prom is in late May, so a white dinner jacked would be suitable?

Does anyone know if the modern version is the wing collar shirt with the collar that only shows the front half of the bowtie? I have seen a number of celebrities wearing it and wondered what the deal was!

As we say over here in Oz, you are a legend! (Don't worry it's a good thing). I have always wondered what the loop at the back of a tux shirt was for and now I know.

Thanks very much!
