I used to have an awesome pair in 16oz Royal Stewart. Alas, I "outgrew" them and sold them to a man who had planned to give them to his son for Highland dancing. However, when the dad got them in the post, he tried them on to discover that they fit him perfectly. He told me that he decided to keep them for himself!!

The high fishtail back as you describe it is still worn in Scottish regiments with Scarlet Battledress and was with highland rig with the former it had to have a high back as the jacket is particularly short.
