Tartan on the Bias?

[figheadair]

Thanks, Peter, for the historical background. While I was aware of the use of bias in hose/trews, I had no idea when it came into use in waistcoats.
I must say, though, that I think a bias-cut waistcoat looks a good deal smarter, since the sett then stands out from that of the kilt.
Regafrds,

It wasn't just waistcoats but jackets too. I've been approached to be the co-author on a book dealing with Highland Revival/Regency costume. It's in the early stages yet but with so much surviving it lends itself to a good book and I hope that we'll get it off the ground.
