Not my size, but someone in the 'loud jacket club' should appreciate this one.

It would probably fit but it's not for me!

When I clicked on it I went deef for two hours

As one who sees a fair few tweed patterns throughout the year, I have to say that to my eye, that pattern does not work for a kilt jacket.

It's a bit too busy for me, but here's a jacket like that being worn in piping competition recently



Personally, this is my favourite, an ordinary check tweed

It's definitely on the bold side, but I think it could work well with the right kilt and accessories. Too big for me, though.

well, the jacket the piper is wearing looks much better than I thought the jacket in the ad would. It could be the photo settings, but the piper's jacket looks a little more 'brown' overall. Still, I'm more of an overcheck/houndstooth kinda guy. I'm glad you posted that pic, though; it's not as busy in context as a picture of just the jacket itself makes it out to be.

I kinda dig the blue bonnet. I'd probably wear a blue tie so that the bonnet wasn't the only blue in the outfit with the Isle of Skye tartan. He is dressed pretty smartly though.

Nothing wrong with the jacket that a vat of strong tea or medium strength coffee would not cure.
It is a trick from the theatrical costumiers.

When an outfit has been run up from whatever is available and it 'doesn't light well' wetting it in warm water with a little detergent added, then dipping it in something to stain it brown tones it down wonderfully. It needs to be rinsed out once it has been stained or it will become darker at the lower end as it drains.

It also works for patchwork with garish or clashing colours.
