What jacket to get?

[creagdhubh]

I wouls nip over to the USA Kilt site (via portal top LHS of top advertisers banner) and check out the tweed jacket section. Rocky has a number of tweeds that he can supply. Two that I thought would go well were LM Kirk 572 and 581. By the way, you get a jacket and vest for 399.99.
I purchased one some time ago and the quality is beautiful. You also get to select the style of cuffs, number of front closure buttons and yae or nae to epaulettes

This is where I ordered my recent 'Argyll' style jacket and waistcoat and let me tell you, Rocky was a pleasure to speak/e-mail with, and he ensured that every detail of my order was to my precise specifications (And I can be very, very OCD when it comes to ordering things, especially Highland attire items). He is delightful to do business with and his expertise, knowledge, professionalism, enthusiasm and commitment to his patrons is self evident.

I originally planned to go with an 'Argyll' style jacket and waistcoat made of the heavy weight Haggart's tweed, yet decided to forego that option in fear that the tweed would simply be far too heavy for the months in which it would be predominately worn. Now, if I lived in the Scottish Highlands year round, then yes, I may have decided to go with the heavier Haggart's tweed. Lovat Mill makes superb tweeds and their medium weight, Kirkton range is very beautiful with lots of different checks, patterns, and solids to choose from. It's rather difficult to make a decision of which tweed to go with when you really love them all! A good problem to have I suppose.

Cheers,
