    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.

    It takes more fabric to make a tartan waistcoat on the bias and there is more wastage as well. I think both types look nice, but I prefer on the bias a bit more.
