Waist Coat

Well, it is not exactly kilt kit, but it is extra tartan from my kilt and it is done myself, and I wanted to share it.

Beautiful! Do you have a pattern for that to share?

I second the call for a pattern! The neck is interesting; what inspired the tighter "V"?

I'm also curious to know what you did for the back of the waistcoat - is it tartan as well?

Put a kilt under it and a doublet over it and you're ready for the Tartan Ball! Very nice work. You should be very proud of it.

Hi, David – very nice indeed. It goes well with the shirt and trousers, but ought to go even better with the kilt.
And could we see what the back looks like?
Regards,
Mike
