Irish Kilkenney Jacket

**KiltedDawg** · 12th February 09, 03:47 PM

Does anyone else own an Irish Kilkenney Jacketin bottle green? I was wondering if people used it like an Argyll (Black Tie optional) or just as for daywear. Also, do you have/use it with or without the vest?

Hi Dawg,

This is all relatively new to me and it seems that every time I log on, someone is talking about another type of jacket that I haven't heard of before. Any chance of a picture? I never knew that there were any specific Irish kilt jackets. Are there more different types that you know of?

Regards

Thanks McMurdo,

So why isn't this an Argyle? Is it the cuffs and pockets?

Glenn, Glenn, Glenn....let me up cousin!

Now I have yet another expensive item on my accessories wish list...

Okay, it is a sharp looking jacket and waistcoat...with a proper ethnic look...

And I'm soooo weak...have already peeked at the properties feature of the pic and see its from Scot Web....

I propose a new definition for a kilt addict.

A kilt addict is a kiltie who owns BOTH a Prince Charlie and a Kilkenny....

Man, I can't keep doing this...there's a recession on....I'll be the best dressed guy in the poor house bread line...

D*mn the addiction! Full speed ahead!!

I really don't see the point in getting both, but then I have a PC and a Montrose, I know what you mean about being the best dressed in the poor house though.

The point...the point...the point...? The point is to have the choice...to have the Irish twist for my Irish blood and Irish kilts....gotta be prepared...Boy Scouts and all that...the super hero's belt full of tricks and life saving devices....just gotta have it...might need it some day.

Though, not sure how that tight waistline is gonna look on a beer belly....

Nope...would rather have it and look silly and be short of food money than not have it....gotta have it...just gotta...

Looks an awfully lot like one to me too. I'd guess that anywhere you'd wear an argyle would be appropriate for this jacket also.

I have both and tend to use them interchangably for dress functions, though the Kilkenny really goes best with the irish tartans or that have a lot of green and blue in them. I find, however, that while the bottle green goes over just as well for dress functions as the PC, it also works well for taking my lady out for a nice dinner in town. Kind of like a high quality suit. The PC, however, only works as formal dress. The black is just too much like a tux to be worn out on the town. IMHO.
