Waistcoats

[MacMillan of Rathdown]

Thanks everyone for the replies. I was hoping it might be a more versatile accoutrement which could be used both ways, but alas...

Thank you all for the information it is helpful to figuring out what I need.

Actually, for most men, an ordinary suit waistcoat works fine-- here's the trick: If you are (say) a 44 Regular, get a 44 Short waistcoat. Likewise, if you are a 44 Long, look for a 44 Regular. If you are a 44 Short, then you need a 44 Cadet. Admittedly the short guys have a rougher time of it but, if you are "Mr. Average", it's not impossible to get a suit waistcoat that works with a kilt.
