Brace yourself... This is loud.

Yesterday, I received the tartan Argyll jacket and waistcoat combination I'd ordered from USA Kilts, which was a Christmas present from my family.

I'd been intrigued ever since I saw them for offer on Rocky's website, and thought the posted images (in a blue/green tartan) looked nice, but figured that the Maxwell tartan would be totally over-the-top for such an application, given its loud red, green, black palette.

I must say that the tailors did a fine job, and was very pleased to see that the Marton Mills tartan used perfectly matches that used in my now several-year-old kilt.

I opted for a three-button jacket without epaulettes, a single button cuff and a bias cut waistcoat with no lapels. I had them make up the combo with the faux stag horn buttons, but have spoken with a tailor about setting them up with convertible buttons (ala McMurdo's Wildcat tartan kilt suit — and thanks, Glen, for your input on this project!).

So, with apologies to Jock Scot in advance, here's my ever so loud Maxwell kilt suit (be it awesome or awful):





Thanks to Rocky for a great customer experience.
