To which I would add that most kilt jackets, especially Prince Charlie coatees, are designed to be worn with higher waisted kilts, ie: those that are worn at the natural waist. In the case of a PC the lower waisted kilts tend to gap at the side (and often at the front as well) showing your shirt bewteen the jacket/waistcoat and kilt. Not a pretty sight.
