Picking the right jacket

[MacLowlife]

I know there are places in Florida where it gets cool, but I think you need to find the lightest weight jacket available. And I think you ought to buy it in some shade of blue or grey, depending on your taste and what looks good with your tartan. I do not care for black jackets, other than tuxedo jackets, but others like black blazers and black suits. And that is why you get so many endorsements of the black Argyll. I think a navy blazer is a better alternative and I think the kilt version is a navy argyll. Steve's charcoal grey is nice, too, but please be sure to get it in the lightest available worsted fabric- or some kind of silk and wool blend. Please consider a jacket in colors like these worn by the Duke of Rothesay, aka Prince Charles... http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...-photos-49608/ . You will notice he is not afraid to wear subtly patterned jackets, but he seldom wears black ones in the daytime. If I were you, I'd go to a high-end thrift shop, find an orphaned 3 button suit coat, and take it to a good tailor to have it converted. Or order one from Steve. But get it in very lightweight fabric.
