Thanks for your reply mate. I do like the amount of tartan that is presented when one wears a tartan doublet with their kilt, however, I think that by having the top portion of the wearer in tartan cut on the bias, ensures that the viewer is able to easily distinguish the doublet from the kilt. I have seen gentlemen wearing their tartan waistcoat without the tartan cut on the bias, and the sett actually lined up rather well with the sett of the kilt, I think this looks fine to me, because normally the wearer has a solid colour doublet or coatee over the tartan waistcoat, thus "breaking up" the tartan ensemble. Of course, the waistcoat cut on the bias looks just as smart in my opinion.
Yours aye,
