Since nobody else seems to have much to say, I will ask this question:

How much difference does it make to you that most Saxon waistcoats are cut a little longer than kilt-specific waistcoats? Do you wear them with your kilt anyway? Do you alter them in some fashion? If you ordinarily wear a "long" have you worn "regular" waistcoats with your kilt? Can anyone comment on the general lowering of men's waistlines (observed as opposed to actual) and the effect of this trend on waistcoats?

I have a couple of backless formal waistcoats that can be adjusted for height. I also have at least one that is not backless and not adjustable. I have worn it with my kilt even if it is a little too long.

Does the size and shape of one's belly affect the length at which one wears his waistcoat? I see pictures of young guys with waistcoats ending far enough above their trousers that their belt buckles are completely uncovered.

I have seen a similar look in rental kilt outfits, where it clearly looks wrong, especially with a hefty waistplate below the waistcoat.

Comments?
