Steve is planning on offering a vest, so I thought I would share my idea for a casual summertime vest for kilt wearers.

It would be a modern style vest with 4 buttons down the front, a V-shaped neck and no collar. It should be made of a reasonably lightweight material so those of us who live in the southern US won't get heat stroke. The most useful part of this vest would be 2 combination cargo/slash pockets on the outer front.

The pockets would be constructed by sewing the tops, bottoms and inner sides of the cargo pockets onto the body of the vest. The outer sides would only be partly sewn down, leaving an opening for the slash pockets.

This type of pockets would give the traditional kilt wearer a place to put their hands and eliminate the need for a sporran. The vest would also eliminate the need to wear a belt.

So, what do you think? Is this a good idea or not?
