referal for tartan vest tailor

I still think there's an issue, FWIW, despite the historic ties between the families you mention. Something to consider- Merlin Hay and Peregrine Moncrieffe are brothers and clan chiefs through their mother and father, respectively. Yet, I've never seen an instance where either wears the other's clan tartan.

In fact, the only instance I can recall where I've seen someone wearing two tartans, not from the same clan, is a a Murray kilt worn with a Jacobite tartan waistcoat. Given that the individual was a bit of a romantic and the Murrays were ardent Jacobites, though, it seemed to make sense...

Did you see this recent post by Matt concerning tartan waistcoats? I had an opportunity to see two of his this past weekend and was much impressed.

Quite right David and well stated.

Hmmm, I really would reconsider mixing tartans like that. If it were two tartans of the same clan, that would be fine, but two unrelated tartans falls into that "it really isn't done, old chap" area.

Just my thoughts on the matter.

Precisely, I agree Sandy.
