Sheriffmuir doublet and vest in tartan

[RichardtheLarge]

I’m happy to say that I finally pulled the trigger on a Sheriffmuir doublet and vest in tartan through USAKilts. This has been a grail item on my list for several years now. Here are the specs of the order:

House of Edgar Stewart Old Ancient 16 oz
Antique square buttons
Gauntlet cuffs
Flat epaulettes
No vest lapels
Vest on the bias

It will be a months long wait, I imagine, but I’m looking forward to posting pics and sharing the outcome. I’ve promised to do my best to reserve it for more formal events.

My only reservation in retrospect is whether I should have requested the doublet to be tailored on the bias also—I hadn’t really thought about this beforehand, and assume that they will build the doublet vertically without that specification.
