Unusual tweed kilt jacket

[Paul]

Hi guys. I bought this jacket second-hand (but practically unworn) last year and have loved it since. It was tagged "Heritage, Scotland" which gave me a feeling it was from Heritage of Scotland. I checked their site and there was no sign of it.
Today I was back on it and saw on their website the jacket and waistcoat for sale at £149.99 (or £127.65 tax-free). It's a great jacket, good quality tweed and certainly worth the money.
If you're looking for an unusual tweed jacket - instead of a regular-cut Argyll then I'd highly recommend this.

Here's a picture from their website:


And here's me wearing the jacket and waistcoat to my cousins wedding:



Hope this helps anyone who may be looking for something a wee bit different!

That looks very much like a jacket I bought from you not long ago. Is it the same make? Even if not, it looks very similar. And I agree, it is a bit different than the other jackets on the market...and it looks very nice.

Smart looking jacket, Paul. BTW nice pix!

Very nice, Paul.


Best,

Great looking jacket and kilt, Paul.

That looks like the same cut as what we call our "Wallace jacket." Basically a three-button Argyle, no?

I've seen this style jacket alternately called a "Wallace jacket" and a "Ghillie jacket," it just seems to depend on the tailors.

Matt, it's slightly longer than the Argyll-cut. It's close to the length of a regular suit jacket but has a "rolled" front - like the Argyll.

Matt,

Which Ettrick tweed style are you wearing in that photo of yourself? I want to purchase all of them very soon from your gift shop! The poacher, gamekeeper, laird, ghillie, etc! I love the colors! I also love the estate tweeds-must have every one when I can afford them all!

Thanks!

Er, I think I understand what you are saying and forgive me if I have the wrong end of the stick, but some estate tweeds may not be for sale, no matter how much money you save.

I understand that Jock Scot. I am referring to the 'commercially' produced estate tweeds that he carries online. I am fully aware that the 'authentic' estate tweeds that the commercial ones are loosely based on, are indeed, not for sale and correct me if I am wrong, but may only be worn by estate workers such as gamekeepers, ghillies, head rangers, possibly tenants located on the estate, and the laird and his family. Correct? Do you hail from Lochaber? Must have a wee dram with you the next time I am in Ft. William-August 2010!
