    If you're talking about the 1745 Jacobite period, this pattern is best:

    It's for standard 18th c. waistcoats of the period (with or without sleeves). For Highland use, you would simply make it shorter - to just below the pockets....

    I sewed a waistcoat from this pattern last summer, for that "Jacobite look".

    Fairly straightforward pattern, easy to sew, and worked out great.

    Slainte yall,
