5 button vest?

[creagdhubh]

You are overlooking the most useful attribute of the black Argyll jacket-- pockets. Were it I, I'd opt for the Argyll and a three button waistcoat, and positively revel in the joy of having pockets into which I could thrust my hands, or fill them with such necessary impedimenta as cell phones, or car keys, or a few bucks to tip waiters and valets, pipe and tobacco, a small pistol, or a tin of snuff.

A formal Argyll also marks a man out as a man of style, one not bonded to the herd timorously attired in Prince Charlie coatees, wishing they had the nerve to ask their wife to put something else in her purse.

Hahaha! Well put, Scott...you made my day with this post! Especially with your last comment, in which my own wife could surely attest to.

Cheers,

The tashes on my regulation doublet actually have small pockets under the flaps... amazingly useful!

Something like these, perhaps?



I only discovered these on mine by accident. It elevates them to the level of versatility of an Argyll IMO.
