Greetings:

I am looking to purchase my first kilt jacket (probably within the next two weeks), but am unsure of what my best option would be. While the Argyll is widely seen as a good all-around jacket, I've never been a fan of open collars and lapels... this would lead me to consider the Sherriffmuir doublet. The problem here is that the Sherriffmuir seems to be considered a formal-only jacket. While I feel it could look good worn as an alternative to a lapelled jacket (standard dress shirt, no waistcoat or patterned waistcoat, with standard tie or perhaps even tie-less), I was wondering if anyone may have input on that (although I can pretty much assume what said input will be).

Also, what would be some good vendors for a relatively affordable jacket? While I obviously don't want to buy complete trash, I prefer not to spend more than is necessary for quality.
