    Waistcoat in Cunningham Tartan


    Here is the waistcoat in Cunningham tartan which Leslie (LAscotswoman) passed on to me and which had belonged to her late father. Leslie told me that her father wore the waistcoat with black trousers. I have modelled the waistcoat with trousers here but it might also go with a black kilt. I feel honoured to be given the opportunity of giving this waistcoat further wear, as I know it was of some sentimental value to Leslie. I will wear this proudly as a Cunningham, and also for Leslie and for her memories of her father.

    Looks great!
    It's also good to have something with some sentimental value and a bit of history. You wear it well.
    It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

    You wear it well. I think it could go well with your Cunningham kilt and your Black Argyll jacket.

    That's a good look for you, Alex.

    And would you please tell us what you are taking that seems to be turning back the hands of the clock?

    Regards,

    My wife and I have noticed that as well Rex. I would say the hair style is a start.

    Alex, the waistcoat looks good. Look forward to seeing the photos of it with a kilt,...or two.
