The kilt (and the shoulder plaid if worn) should provide all the color you need. A different texture/weave of black fabric might look pretty good though. Too many colors kills the look.

Coloured waistcoats are fine alternatives to one matching the jacket. Of course tartan (on the bias) is quite popular, as are red and white waistcoats. I've seen beautifully embroidered ones too, as well as needlepoint.

Don't let Col MacNeal's opinion ( which is all it is, as is mine! ) scare you off from dressing in a more authentic, Highland manner!

MOR and I have discussed wearing the PC with high cut waistcoat when wearing a jabot because the jabot does not work with the low cut waistcoat.


I've been wondering if embroiderey was ever used on waistcoats. Thanks for pointing that out.

And what look might that be, Colonel?
