It appears to me that you have a Tails coat conversion, nothing wrong with that. But it appears to me that the the scalloped patches on the tails are backwards.

If you look at the Folkware pattern in the center of this picture you can see the scalloped piece has the point pointing outward.



As I understand the buttons go out near the points, not the center of the piece, see the pattern piece on the lower right of the picture.

See if you can remove this piece and turn it around.
Well that was what I thought when I first looked at it. . . . but the back looks tailored very well for a conversion. The whole thing looks spot on to me except for the tails. I don't know, I am really gunning for an Argyll someday but as often as I wear it it will be just fine.

I just really really like the look of a vest. That is why I want one!
