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

Chas

The jacket looks "sharp"... just don't sit on anybody....
On the other hand, it won't be a problem to sit still....

ok, off to take my meds...

I heard about tails on a kilt jacket, but I wasn't expecting that....

I also like the charcoal hose and waistcoat idea. That would look very sharp indeed.

) for £20($29) or less the plainer the better

A smidgen over your £20 limit but have you seen these. Might be worth taking your jacket with you next time you're in Edinburgh and paying them a visit.
