PC and other kilt related items made in Pakistan

[OC Richard]

I haven't read all the replies to this post, but I have a PC (and waist coat) from Pakistan, and it's a beauty.

I'd like to see it. I've not yet seen a Pakistani made jacket that could pass for a Scottish-made one, to an experienced eye anyhow. Not to say that it's not possible. Even if the tailoring appears normal to the untutored eye (which includes myself because I know nothing about tailoring) the fabric will give its origin away.

I had a charcoal Argyll that I strongly suspect was Pakistani or Indian made. It carried the label of a Scottish firm known to sell sporrans of questionable origin. The cut and fit were OK but the tweed didn't look or feel the same as any British or Irish tweed I'd ever seen.

I'll stick to ex-hire and vintage Scottish-made things of good quality. I just picked up a very nice Lovat Blue tweed Argyll jacket on Ebay, made in Scotland, top-quality tweed, nice tailoring, fits perfectly (size 50L), for around $125.
