    Yeah, I figured they would be from somewhere in Asia. No doubt they are mass-produced items, with quality on par with price. Not knowing any more about them than what I saw in 5 minutes of browsing, though, it does seem like they have some jacket and waistcoat styles that I haven't seen elsewhere. Some are fairly ridiculous, and some might actually work well.

    I don't know if their models tend to have overly-long torsos, but they make a lot of these waistcoats look very short, as if they would work well for the higher waists of kilts. As for the model who is wearing leather suspenders/braces OVER his waistcoat, well...

    Is that not a leather rucksack he's wearing?...

    No, he's got it clipped to his front belt loops and it just goes round his shoulders like a shoulder holster rig. There are front and back photos here:

    It just seems odd over a waistcoat, unless it really is a holster rig. But it doesn't seem suited to that.

    Does look very bizarre now I see the whole thing...
