    Sorry it has taken me so long to reply to the requests. The pattern is a McCalls 9136. It was a pattern a former seamstress friend of my family gave me. She used to use the pattern for weddings. It has two options, one with the high "V" and another with a low cut and lapels. My wife and I both liked the high cut better.

    The back of the vest is simply black satin, with a finishing belt. Not much to photograph.

    I hadn't really taken shots with the kilt because it is more meant for conventional use, and I believe is too long to use with a kilt. (though I think it may be a little short, so who knows) I also have been unable to save enough shekels to speak to Thorfinn about a sporran, and so am sheepish about photos in more dressy kit :-S
    May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

    Beautiful job! Perfect for those times when a kilt isn't quite right, but you'd like to have your tartan seen. Commendable!
    Only 9 notes. How hard could it be?

    Well done laddie! As you mention it could be a tad short for the kilt, although you will probably get away with it(avoid the dreaded gap phenomenon)with a traditionally "cut" kilt.
