    Thanks everyone for the replies. I was hoping it might be a more versatile accoutrement which could be used both ways, but alas...

    Thank you all for the information it is helpful to figuring out what I need.
    May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

    Actually, for most men, an ordinary suit waistcoat works fine-- here's the trick: If you are (say) a 44 Regular, get a 44 Short waistcoat. Likewise, if you are a 44 Long, look for a 44 Regular. If you are a 44 Short, then you need a 44 Cadet. Admittedly the short guys have a rougher time of it but, if you are "Mr. Average", it's not impossible to get a suit waistcoat that works with a kilt.

    Thanks for the very sensible tip.
