Anyone know where there may be a front view photo of this historical ensemble?
I can't say about the waistcoat, but I've taken a look at Bob Martin's exact reproduction of the Robertson kilt, and it does have a pretty high rise. According to Bob, it was made selvage to selvage, with 25 inch wide cloth, THEN a 2&3/8 inch wide waistband was added. As a side note, it's made in hard tartan.

I have never seen a head on picture of this kilt suit, but I feel sure that Bob must have one... somewhere.
