Hello comrades,

I've noticed in some old pictures that some men are wearing kilt jackets that close nearly up to the neck; instead of the one- or two-button closure that I've seen more commonly today. I'm very interested in a jacket like that old style. Further, I've seen some waistcoats that button nearly up to the neck as well, instead of the fewer buttons seen today.

Can anyone help me with names / time periods of these items and if anyone makes them today? Are they worn today?

Go raibh maith agaibh,
Jonathan
