Not only are they great for low-cost Highland wear -- my Black Watch kilt, PC jacket and waistcoat, rabbit fur sporran, all come to mind, not to mention a lot of Jerry's SWK gear... but they're great for other nice goods too!

I just received a new pair of black, leather chaps for winter motorcycle riding (that's how I get to work every day) and a black, leather vest too. The chaps ran me $32 from a company out of New Jersey but everything is from Pakistan. There were even these really cool tags written in Arabic in the pockets. lol.

I'm soooo happy now! The ride to work this morning was COZY with my new chaps even though it was -1C (30F)! I have leather pants too, but since I am expected to look business-like, with chaps I can happily wear them over top of my dress pants and remove them at work.
