I think Chas looks very smart indeed, yet without attempting to be overly critical, I must say that I dislike seeing a waistcoat worn with a coatee, or perhaps some sort of mess jacket, fall far beneath the bottom part of the coatee itself. It just doesn't look right to my eye.

Rather, I like for my evening waistcoat to be at least 1-2 inches above the very bottom of the coatee, or short-cut jacket and the absolute longest I'd go is for the very bottom part of the waistcoat to be level with the very bottom part of the coatee, but even that looks wee bit odd to my eye. See below for visual examples of what I prefer - and this is my own opinion of course and not a personal affront on Chas in any way - consider it 'constructive' criticism!

Cheers,

Kyle, I agree.

Can you notice in the first picture how my left sleeve seems to be twisted? That is because it is! The weight of the flyplaid was pulling the coatee up and backwards. In one of the pictures I am giving the Toast to the Lasses and my left hand is firmly latched onto the coatee front to hold it down.

Just one of the many dangers of wearing a flyplaid!

Regards

Chas
