    New Vest from Matt Newsome

    It seems that swamped as he is, Matt Newsome is still cranking them out! The vest arrived a couple of weeks ago, with sincere thanks - it's exactly as I wanted it - but I didn't have an occasion to kilt up until today. Highland Games in Embro, Ontario. I'm taking my camera and I'll post a few of those later.

    Meanwhile, here's the vest with a variety of kit:


    (Kilt, Sheriffmuir and hose from John at Keltoi)



    (Sporran by Scott- the Artificer)



    (Carryall Sporran from Steve, Freedom Kilts)



    And with Saxon dress, just to shock my parishioners when I unbutton my jacket.

    Thanks a million, Matt; I love it!

    Beautiful tartan and match, but I wonder why you are getting those wrinkles just at/above the top button? I hope it's just a matter of hitching the shoulders up higher after you don the garment and any jacket.

    Mostly because I took the pictures myself and didn't notice them until afterwards.

    Very nice. I have to say the white jacket with the vest and the clericals is a winner.

    Father,

    What an excellent showcase for the versatility of a piece of clothing!

    I, too, thought they were some odd form of wrinkle at first, but now I have changed my mind.
    I believe what we are seeing there is the lower edge of the lapels of the vest, no?
