Argyll jacket and no waistcoat. What to do?

[Downunder Kilt]

With my lovat green arygll tweed jacket I often wear a claret waistcoat I obtained from the Gentlemens Emporium. It is straight cut across the bottom and has a collar. I also wear a doeskin waistcoat in olive green to vary it up a bit.

I have a rather lovely Lovat green Argyll jacket. I've had it many years and got it for a song, and it is made from a heavy tweed of somewhat higher quality than seems to be available these days. Sadly, it didn't come with a matching waistcoat and I know I'll never get a perfectly matching one, so I'd like the rabble's advice on what sort of waistcoat might work instead.



Thanks,

Richard.

I must say, that's a fine looking tartan, Richard!

Indeed it is, Kyle, indeed it is.

It's pleated to the double white stripe so looks quite impressive from the back too.

*EDIT* An old photo, but just to illustrate.

My Macpherson kilt in the 'ancient' colour scheme is pleated in the same fashion. Well done!

Great minds think alike, obviously!
