    Re: Bias waistcoat question

    Did you line them up that way on purpose, five, four and three buttons? The beauty of a custom garment is that you can do things that suit an individual wearer that a manufacturer is not going to be able to do because of limited demand. A four button, semi-high vest is confusing enough that retailers would have trouble selling it, but I think it is perfect, assuming you believe it flatters Bob and his physique. And it shows off just a little more of the tartan fabric. Be sure to post a pic.

    Madmacs,

    May I ask who made your rather smart tartan waistcoat? Simply curious.

    Cheers,

    Cheers,
    Bonnie Heather Greene... She did the kilt too... Both in Strome...

    The buttons were just put on (I had her make it so they were removable) and I hadnt sewn the rings to hold them straight yet... That's why they arent all lined up pretty...
