Loverly. A beasutiful vest, good match, and such a deal. I too saw it on ebay and considered it myself---glad you got it as it looks better on you than it would on me (and my wife would have killed me).
One thing--It looks like you are likely wearing a kilt belt as the bottom of your vest juts out a bit from your kilt. Just a guess on my part. Most here will tell you convention says not to wear a large buckle vest under a waist coat becasue the waistcoat then will not lie correctly, and besides it is not visible anyway. I personally do not follow convention but instead either wear a less bulky buckle or actually more often turn my belt buckle to the side slightly less than 90 degrees to get it out of the way up front, so I have a flat front when I wear a waistcoat. I wear the belt not to be a rebel but rather becasue I have a paunch and need to wear sporran hangers for my sporran, which require a belt to hang from (at least until I unveil my latest half-cocked invention).
Cheers!
