I'm sure Gabe Everson could do it for you for a fair price as well.

He has made 3 of my kilts and they rank among my favourites....

Here is a picture of him in one he made for himself.

Just another to throw into the mix http://www.evelynspence.co.uk/# I am sure Evelyn could make what you seek at a fraction of KA prices.

It's a bit difficult to see, but at my request he made covered buttons matching each to its underlying pattern. He also made extra buttons in case of loss. I call that "custom service".
Good luck in your decision.
I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

I assume you mean the ones on the left, because they are a bit more elaborate. They are House of Cheviot Grantown Brown country hose. They were offered in the 2012 catalog, but were dropped for 2013.
You might get them through a special order from New House Highland or House of Labhran, but you may have to buy a minimum of three pairs - kind of like a bunch of us did with the Shetland and Orkney lines and with Michael Flemming's and Matt's assistance.

I've supplied tartan waistcoats in the 3-button formal style before for my clients.
Here's one in Dalgliesh's reproduction MacGregor tartan (we also knit him some shepherd check hose to match).

One we just recently did in the Polaris tartan. For this one, the client requested cloth covered buttons.

And just to show some of the other customized options, here is a formal waistcoat with four buttons and a shawl collar.

If you are interested just fill out this form to get started and I'll send you a price quote.

MINE! I love it, it's a part of my R'lyeh Dress outfit, including the Matt's work in a 5yd box pleated kilt, custom diced hose, and a doublet I'm currently finalizing the plans on right now.
I wanted a waistcoat I could wear with my Argyll for dress and which would be a bit lower than the standard 5 button, but high enough that I could wear it with a Sheriffmuir or other
doublet and it wouldn't look out of place.

Now that looks sharp. I've become a big fan of these waistcoats and now need to purchase one of my own!
