    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.

    A Bias Bias ?

    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.
