Hello gang. I've just completed my first ever waistcoat, which I've made to go with my Gordon Clan Weathered Kilt. I saw a picture of Alan Cummings in his matching Cumming or Comyn Hunting (Muted Colours) kilt outfit, which I thought looked pretty awesome, so I’d like have an outfit for myself. First step then is the waistcoat. It’s about 3 inches shorter than a normal waistcoat, so unfortunately is a bit too short to wear with normal trousers. Like Alan’s, I’ve cut mine on the bias, which made things challenging, but I’m really pleased with the end result. I’ve tried to match up everything, even grain lines, the inside facings, and the pocket welts (as best as I can given that they run through fitting darts) I’ve taken photos of every step so if I can I’ll also post a tutorial.071.jpg 073.jpg 074.jpg 075.jpg 080.jpg 081.jpg 082.jpg 083.jpg 084.jpg 085.jpg
Very nice... The horn buttons go well with it Did you do the kilt too?
That's lovely! We've discussed bias waistcoats and identified some patterns that don't have front darts to mess up the pocket welts but really, under a jacket who will ever see?
