Mael....I think it's great looking. I have so many bits and pieces of tartan around, I know my wife could sew the pieces together and we could cut out a waistcoat like that. I have a dark olive green, dark green and black tartan kilt (box pleat which my wife made) that a mostly red mixed tartans waistcoat would look good with. THANKS for the idea. When we do Jacobite, there is a fellow who shows up as one of the Prince's bodyguards who has a coatee made of all types of tartan, not in squares, just patches.....it's unique, for sure! Malcolm
