New PC and waistcoat

[Nathan]

I'm very happy with my new black velvet Prince Charlie Coatee and waistcoat embellished with the MacDonald of Clanranald modern tartan.

I purchased a black velvet PC and waistcoat that was originally made by Philip King in Scotland. Since I had some tartan at home, I commissioned a very talented friend of mine to replace the satin facings with tartan, to alter it to fit me better, and to make me a bias cut tartan waistcoat. She also replaced the buttons with new ones of my choosing.

Here is a pic of the ensemble with my kilt in the same tartan. I couldn't be happier with her work customizing these garments to me. This will be my preferred evening attire for the foreseeable future, I think.
