Yep it was just a shorthand way to refer to the waistcoat that comes with an Argyll jacket.
I've got to get a tartan waistcoat one of these days! I'm thinking about getting a waistcoat in Black Watch tartan and wearing it with any of my kilts (none of them Black Watch) indiscriminately. I'm thinking of the Black Watch pipers in the 19th century who wore Royal Stewart kilts & plaids with Black Watch tartan doublets, which looked very nice.
Here we were, yours truly, piper Colin (if I recall correctly), my friend and fellow piper Josh Cooper
