and absolutely correct. This is a big problem with the "one size fits all" off-the-rack Prince Charlie coatees and waistcoats. A guy with a substantial "bay window" will never look his best unless he goes for a custom made waistcoat, one that fits properly.

I'd suggest that any of the traditional Highland outfitters on X Marks could supply a four button waistcoat if asked. And whilst they're at it, they could do it in something other than black!
