    thanks lads ,
    i reckon getting a vest/waistcoat that goes with hose may be the right option , cheers for the ebay link and the uniformal link that site has some nice gear in it mind you , i spotted the ebay one the other day but ended up going for the other waistcoat but i reckon at £10 i should buy it i could always sell it again if it wasnt going to work ,
    i had thought of going to chairty type shops but sadly most over this way are wise to what things are worth with all those blooming bargain hunter shows and what have ya most 2nd hand shops have folk who know the real value of items and try sell them for not much cheaper than new ,

    this is the waistcoat i bought the other day nice colour and a nice fit waistcoat just wont go with the wedding party i guess http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=220374720458

    Nice waistcoat.
    Have you thought of asking hire shops? They may hire just just a waistcoat for pennies? Or do you know anyone with a kilt suit that is a similar size to you? I guess you are a 38 if that waistcoat fits you well?

    Hi thanmuwa,

    Thanks for the link. I've just bought one in my size. The vendors are the famous (infamous) Gold Brothers, but at £10 you really can't go wrong.

    Regards

    Chas

    Just a quick follow-up. Waistcoat ordered and paid for on the 21st April, arrived by carrier at 09:00 this morning 23rd April (St George's Day). They still have more clearance waistcoats at £10.00 (the buttons are worth over £5.00). Thanks again thanmuwa.

    Regards
