Plaid Shirt with Solid Color Kilt

[Bugbear]

They are more than likely longer than a kilt vest. Try it though.

Ok, Thanks.

The bottom of the vest comes down passed the top of the kilt across the back. Blind guy here, I need someone to tell me, with out pictures, how short a kilt vest should be if you would.

Don't give up just yet, a vest might be easier to alter than a jacket. Another option is a retro clothing store, a vest receives very little wear and tear over it's life. I would think that a vest at the back should just cover the top of the kilt rather than showing kilt, flash of shirt then vest. I feel that the front can cover the front by a couple of inches without affecting the sporran. Anymore than that I'd look for another vest. Another find would be a full bodied wool/tweed vest rather than tweed at the front and satin at the back. When I ordered my vest and Braemer from USAK I forgot to order my vest in full tweed. The extra cost would have been worth it.

Great! That answers some questions I've been wondering about. Over in another thread I have a corduroy jacket and vest conversion being talked about, and I was having a difficult time understanding what to do to the vest. I might also go ask some questions in a USAK thread on their jackets...

Thanks.
