Greetings Graham,

Though I have a tweed jacket for more 'proper' events: a few years back when in Germany I got a leather waistcoat/sleeveless jacket-which is long enough to cover the buckles and belt of my kilt-to just above where pleat stitches stop.

I've since worn it to clan semi formal events, and for casual wear-and only had spprtive comments. OK it is not suitable for the equivalent of black tie occasions-it has done me well.

James
