My understanding is that 5-buttons are fastened all the way down, for 6-buttons the bottom one is left open.

There is no "must" here, but generally speaking we in the Highlands wear highland attire with the bottom button of the waistcoat done up. Saxon attire is another matter entirely.

I know it was intended as a compliment...but I find that many (if not most) models on Scottish Attire webpages are FAR from what I aspire to look like. Jackets are frequently poorly fitted (sleeves too long, boxy looking torso), sporrans are too low or too high and very commercial, kilts are frequently "dress" tartans, etc etc....the list goes on an on.

I will say, Spartan, that you look much BETTER, than a model off of a website. I questioned whether you were wearing a dress tartan at first, but then I read and saw what tartan it is...no issues.
