Since the tartan was not in stock I knew there’d be a delay until it was woven. The pandemic saw fit to shut down the mill (and most everything else besides), adding nearly four months to that delay.
Some members of this forum and another Facebook group showed me handsome examples of tartan waistcoats converted for daywear, so I asked Lucas at USA Kilts to throw in a set of antler buttons in case I want to work with a tailor here at home to do so.
Just a gentle press of the apron, and it’ll be ready for some “action shots.” Watch this space for more, but for now cock your head to one side and enjoy!
Those colours look wonderful together . Anxious now for the action shots.

If you decide to set the waistcoat up for interchangeable buttons, a good source for proper antler buttons is AMHornLithuania on Etsy. (https://www.etsy.com/shop/AMHornLith..._shop_redirect).

That sporran is so beautiful.
I think L&M is doing traditional sporrans better than pretty much anybody.
There are Scottish makers who can produce stunning and very traditional sporrans, but I think in the main L&M does it more consistently.
