Waistcoats at Target...

[BassClefB]

Just a heads-up... my local Target has waistcoats in some very desirable styles on sale for around $20 a piece. Lots of sizes too. These have worked VERY well with my kilts thus far. Might want to check them out at your local Target if you're in the market...

I just bought one on clearance for $5.

for a waistcoat, is it normal/ideal to have one that has a back that is not the same as the front? I think it looks odd to have the fabric on the front one way, and the back to be black or gray and plain. or am i just not looking hard enough?

It all depends. If you're going to wear a jacket with it, then it doesn't matter. If you're not going to wear a jacket, I think it looks kind of strange, too. I'd prefer to have the waistcoat all one fabric, but the Target models are not that way. Oh, well.

There's already a discussion of these...

They are a good deal if you find one that fits.. They seem to run small and the xl is too small... Oh well, at least you little fellows have a good options..

Ahhh... didn't realize that was a 'rule', per-se that the fabric must be the same all around. I'll take what I can get... and for $20 it will work just fine for me.

Yep. Bought one myself about two months ago. Works great with a white oxford and royal stewart.
