Does a waistcoat have to be cut for a kilt? Or will any quality waistcoat look proper with a kilt? I've been thinking of putting together a not so typical solo piping outfit for contests. I have a really nice MacLean of Duart kilt, A lovely brown leather rob roy sporran (alla Artificer). And some lovat green hose.. I was thinking that rather then wearing the typical black waistcoat as most pipers do. A light brown tweed one with some red or green pattern in it would look nice?? Maybe with a crimsony sorta tie.
So do you all think this might work and are there any good north Americian sources for different tweed patterned waistcoats??

Thanks all..
