IOS tartan waistcoat

[McMurdo]

Congratulations on the waistcoat, you wear it well. I saw it as well on ebay, glad an xmarker got it.

Tradition, man, tradition. If I remember, everything tartan other than the kilt itself is typically worn on the bias----ties, plaids, vests, jackets, those old-style tartan hose I think are called cadagh---pretty much everything cut and worn on the bias.

I see! Well, thanks, just don't feel that's something I need to follow, though, since I'm not Scottish.

I am with you brother. Although I am of scottish descent and proud of that heritage, but I don't live in Scotland. I follow this forum for knowledge and suggestions about style and tradition but don't always feel restricted by convention simply for convention's sake.

The whole outfit looks great. As far as cutting the waistcoat on the bias is concerned-- well, it is simply a matter of individual preference. Neither is more "correct" or "traditional", it's all down to what you like.
