Vest to go with a kilt

[MacFett]

Not really sure this is the best place for this, but I think it would go better with modern than traditional.

I am looking for a vest to wear with my tartan kilt for a wild west and/or steampunk feel/look.

I am not familiar with the wearing of vests or jackets/coats with a kilt at all. I usually wear a t-shirt, a button up dressy shirt or one of my poofy renn faire shirts.

I've been looking around The Gentleman's Emporium but at a loss for what works.

Lots of the shorter, straight cut vests from Gentleman's Emporium or Wild West Mercantile;

will work well with a kilt, they have some that are more 'old west', and some that are more 'Victorian'

This one is a bit pricey, but may come close to what you are looking for.

Good luck in your search.

I'm liking this one, http://www.wwmerc.com/cgi-bin/catego...ategory=20120# the shirt on the dummy is nice too.

Thanks for the links lads.

I like the Murphy's Pub vest. We have good taste Brooke!

I'm loving that vest as well, enough that I'm trying to convince the wife to make one similar in a lightweight tweed for my prodigious frame :-)
