    Yup, that tweed was a custom pattern I had woven up. The waistcoat was made from a remnant left from this kilt:

    That is an amazing kilt, Matt. One day....

    Yes, and where else will you see such horses and such men?

    Re: Bespoke waistcoats

    Stop tempting me! I do love a nice waistcoat, and while I have several - I would like a light color (neutral), overcheck (Harris?) tweed with small brown or tan leather buttons. One more thing to add to my wish list! I think I'll have to wait until you finish my box pleat kilt first though. Cheers!
