Yes, it seems like most do without. I prefer it without, because I don't like the hihg 5-button vest you usually wear with an argyll. Thanks!  |

I wear mine regularly without. Though I will be purchasing a vest shortly so I may pick and choose with and without, here and there...

I think the argyle and vest combo looks quite dapper, but currently I dont have either. If I had both, I would wear both occasionally. Its nice to have options for different looks.

I like both, but I think for me it depends on the Argyll. My fuzzy tweed one didn't come with a vest, and I like it that way. When I wear the black one I wear it more often with the vest, but without as well. It's kind of like those three-piece suits I used to wear - it depends on the day whether the vest gets worn or not.

If I'm going to wear a waistcoat, I'll wear my PC... or just the waistcoat. It looks fine with the Argyll, but in Florida it's often a matter of heat.

I wear it both ways, depending on the situation. I find I more often prefer to wear the waistcoat than not though.

I wear mine without a waistcoat. However, if I were wearing my kilt to a more formal event than usual, I would most certainly wear a waistcoat with my Argyll jacket.
