St Andrew's Day is about to dawn in Scotland and we have not had a new thread- nay we have not had a posting- in the month of November. May I suggest we revisit the ever popular topic of tartan jackets. I have unearthed two in my closet and am eyeing them for conversion. Since I only have one that matches my kilt, I expect the other one will either leave me or remain a trouser-cut jacket.
However, I do hope somebody will comment on the idea of a nice Black Watch sport coat being chopped and channeled into the top half of a kilt suit. While you are forming your opinion, would you please be so kind as to weigh in on whether it would be more honest to go ahead and make it a Black Watch evening jacket, or would there be just enough occasions to wear it in the daytime that it ought to retain daywear details ( e.g. no black satin lapels).
As always, your humble and obedient...
