    Again, maybe not the kilt...

    Double Breasted waistcoats may be unusual for kilts, but I believe they are readily available as formal wear in the UK. Pakeman, Catto & Carter offer them for those willing to spend 75-100 GBP. They have also been worn as daywear- I believe in the 19th century... They usually have a straight-cut bottom, which ought to do well with a kilt. Aren't your waistcoats sometimes double breasted, Ancienne Alliance?

    Well, my google search was a cursory one, I will admit. Thanks for that information!
