    That’s a fantastic tweed where did you find it? I presume that it was a little big so you could tailor it smaller?

    That is fantastic!

    The vertical hole is as likely, perhaps more likely, to have been used for a pocket watch strap.

    Nowadays we think chains but straps, leather or satin, were as/more popular than chains in the 1930s.

    I have two waistcoats, both bespoke, with those vertical holes, for my pocket watch with leather strap.

    I got it from Newfanglednatty. I let down the sleeves about an inch and a half and took in the waist a little.

    With some hand knit kilt hose

    Here's the outfit with some bespoke hose I commissioned from a knitter in Nova Scotia.
