Thank you all for the advice. My kilt came from USA Kilts so I know their quality is top notch. I will keep posted.

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 check, 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,

Love those Haggarts tweeds also Kyle, but you are so correct, that in our climate too, you would only be comfortable wearing them in the dead of winter.

Precisely!

Sadly, even here in Minnesota, my tweed jackets usually get consigned to the closet between May and October for outdoor events. I also love that combination, creagdhubh.
