Valentine's kit

My lass treated me to a new dress sporran; peak collar, ruffle front shirt; black hose; and handmade grey flashes for Valentine's. It arrived a little past the actual day but that's OK because February 14th was also Chinese New Year; we were busy celebrating the year of the tiger!

Here it all is with my Spencer jacket and Maple Leaf tartan kilt:

Still on the list for my black tie apparel is a 3 button waistcoat and self-tie bowtie. Almost there!

Looks good, for a 3 button waistcoat you might want to try either Caringorm on Avenue Road, or Burnett's and Struth in Barrie, for something somewhat local, they both sell ex rentals so you can get a good price.

Looking good.

Such a thoughtful gift.
Maple Leaf is one of my favourite tartans.

Looks good. Congratulations.

Gosh, you look very, very sharp!!

What is that jacket style?

**CMcG** · 21st February 10, 05:19 PM

Galician, it's a Spencer jacket... sort of like a tail coat with no tails and similar to a mess jacket. I got it from a vintage shop and put a shiny button on the front and cuffs. Here's a pic with better lighting:
