I noticed that Target had a clearance on some of their vests.

I picked up a dark brown corduroy one with an olive satin back for under $5.





Obviously Nick and pdcorlis have been an influence It has been a while since I wore my bow tie so please excuse me if it is a bit askew.


Notice how I am wearing my pocket watch and it's chain.

My wife gave me a small metal key ring with a picture locket on it some time ago.

I had a bit of inspiration from the recent pocket watch thread and decided to use it with a simple chrome chain for a different look.





I have to note that the waist coat hasn't been converted yet. I simply unbuttoned the last button and folded it into place (though it stayed there nicely for a last New Year's party we went to today.

Perhaps I can get the F-H.C.A.G. to do a photo DIY thread before the XMTS fabric arrives and she starts work on kilts!

Cheers
