    Vest and Kilt Review-2 for 1

    Hey Gang-
    I received my vests from NJ Piper today http://www.newjerseypiper.com/vests.html This is my review:

    The vest is made in China, and is a light Polyester blend. Lets just get that out of the way. The buttons are from 3 feather pewter and are the squared lion buttons.

    The vest is a traditional cut with an inside pocket and 2 front. While the vest is light, I'm actually EXTREMELY happy with it, because of the hot summers we get here, this could be worn without having to worry about over heating. These would be very comfortable if you are piping. The quality buttons balance out the vest and add some custom character (You have like 5 styles to choose from.) ALL -in all, I'm EXTREMELY happy with this vest and the cost. If you are a chronic vest wearer like myself, you should absolutely invest in a couple of these. I will be ordering a couple more in the coming days-

    NOW-My 4 yard kilt pleated to "Skye's Fancy"-Finally got it pressed and am MUCH happier with it. The pleats are very deep, so there is a nice hold and swish. There is a definite difference between the feel of my 5 yard kilt vs. this one, but I'm actually liking how light it is. I'm wearing it all day today, so I'll update how it holds out.....I'm hopeful this will be a viable style for the hot summers here-I'll post a final review tonight and update this thread. HEre are the obligatory shots of the vest and kilt-
