I was at the Kingston Scottish Festival in May 2013 and it got cold since that is Spring here and the temperature can still drop to single digits Celsius. After shivering for a while, I went to my van and got a wool sweater and a pair of gloves so I could go back to watching the grade one bands without freezing. a photographer liked the cut of my jib and asked if I'd pose for a shot. I agreed as long as he said he'd email me the file. There it is. The shots with McMurdo and I where I'm in the day plaid as well as the one with Farmer Jones, McMurdo, Crash, the Quaich and I, are from the same games this past May. Once again, the temperature shifted throughout the day and I was glad to have the option of some extra wool layers. I wear a Barbour jacket when it rains but otherwise, I hate to cover up so much of the tartan and try to find other ways to stay warm.
Farmer Jones:
A few people have purchased tartan4less tweeds on here. If I recall, the complaints weren't about the cloth, which is very nice, but rather about a) The cut which is a little odd in the front, and b) attention to detail. One xmarks member received a jacket and waistcoat with no button holes if I recall correctly. I think if you go that route, you should budget for some additional tailoring to finish the job when the jacket arrives. I hope I'm not mixing it up with another ebay store, but that's my recollection.
