the front:

I don't have one of the back but it exactly the same as a standard waistcoat with a silk back, so nothing very unusual.

As the waistcoats I make are almost always for use with jackets, I much prefer the back to be plain and smooth, and even if it was to be worn without a jacket , it also doesn't add much thickness or weight .I think that the "face" or "tartan" fabric all the way is uneeded, but I know some wearers prefer it that way.Traditional waistcoats normally have a plain back,or one with a contrasting colour, which adds a little bit of hidden colour when ocasionally seen.
The bottom line I think is to talk to your maker , and they will almost always be happy to make it whichever you want!
