I figured we had beat the hose topic to death lately so I would start a new topic to go to town on. I have been admiring all the waistcoats showing up on here. Have had no luck finding one to fit me. I am considering making one myself.

Anyway, my question is is there any style I could make that you fine folks think would work with a belt? Given the small difference between my waist and hip measurements a stout belt really is necessary to keep the kilt up. I was thinking one of the straight bottomed ones.

Let the contrary opinions begin.
