    I've done that very thing to one tailcoat already, and it's worked out quite nicely. Then I kayaked too much last year and went up a jacket size. There's a uniquely designed Perry Ellis Tailcoat on it's way to me from an outfit on eBay that's about to get the same treatment. "So You're Going To Wear The Kilt" has a short guide on how to perform the alterations. It's really not that difficult, lads. Although it helps to have a mother with 65 years worth of sewing experience around for assistance as well!

    I wore my P.C. to my graduation dinner last weekend. If you have the build and occasion to own a P.C. I don't think it can be beat. I find myself planning my formal occasions so that I can wear my P.C. as often as possilble. I think an Argyle looks better on more portly wearers, whereas a P.C is the best possible look for an athletic type. If you want to blow away the competition at evening affairs then I recommend a P.C. as a very versatile and comfortable evening dress option. People always say that a PC. is the equivalent of black tie dress but I disagree. Put a guy in a room full of tuxedo wearers in a P.C. and everyone else might as well be invisible. If you were to go with an Argyle I would recommend the 5 button waistcoat to go with it. O'Neille
