I got the idea from this ad.
I like the look - showing more tartan up front - and I like the convenience of a vest with lots of pockets in lieu of a sporran. I'd rather carry my "stuff" from my shoulders when day hiking.
I like the Scottevests because they have so many pockets. The length is more than I'd like but they don't seem interested in manufacturing a shorter "kilt vest." I like them so much I've acquired one of each color they make to go with more tartans.
Have a Filson travel vest I really like. One pocket is large enough to hide my big digital Rebel camera so I don't look so touristy - and for when I'm in an area of Indian Country where pictures aren't supposed to be taken.
And you CAN wear a sporran too if ya wanna....
Also have an Orvis leather vest I like a lot for hiking in cooler weather.
I've looked at photographer's vests and safari vests but haven't bought either yet.
Even have a biker vest that's much more fun comfortable on the river than a sporran would be.
I do really really really like vests with a lot of pockets with kilts - for the convenience, the comfort, and for the look - though I wish someone would delve into the waiting niche market of travel vests cut a bit shorter for wearing with kilts.
