A grey tweed hacking jacket, with navy velvet collar and in a perfect world navy or cornflower over check? Or a blue tweed with grey velvet collar

If I manage to find such a jacket what colour shirt and waistcoat should I wear?

Does such a thing exist as a hunter bridle with a comfort headpiece? (If not I could just make one up out of Sabre or Jeffries parts but want to avoid the hassle if I can)
 
Just like to point out before you make a potentialy costly mistake that blue and grey tweeds are not correct in the show ring. If you are showing then green or brown tweed is correct.

However if you are not showing or you absolutely have your heart set on one then Pretty ponies or mrs candy might be able to do one for you. Alexander James also might If you tell them exactly what you are after but be prepared to pay through the nose for it.
 
Have you tried Beau Cheval? They are in Lancashire and the lady is very nice and helpful. They have a big selection of tweeds to choose from and I am sure that she does special orders too. The downside is that you will have to pay a lot more than you would for an off the peg jacket but you would get something that no-one else had!
