I really liked the diagonal tartan from seeing Matt's pics of his. When I ordered up my first tartan waistcoat from Kathy Lare I requested that cut, but she urged me to let her make it regular - like Invercauld and Airds are wearing theirs.
Can't recall why, maybe the tartan layout, maybe the fabric left after making my kilt from the material. But I trusted her experienced judgement on such matters.
But I like the results. Maybe next one will be on the bias.
