I often wear this vest with matching kilt. It never fails to draw compliments.

The front has the tartan on the bias, as seen. The back is also tartan, though straight. I find it a nice contrast (though you don't see the back when worn with a jacket). I, personally, find tartan vests to be more attractive when on the bias, if you are going to wear it with the kilt. Something about the slight contrast above and below the waist. I was inspired to have this vest made after seeing early nineteenth century bias-cut tartan vests.
I've worn it with and without a jacket, and certainly don't feel the need to reserve it for formal wear.
