    I have noticed this happening from time to time over several months, Graham, and not only where photo images appear. I too assumed it to be something to do with my own computer. Whatever it is, it's a darned nuisance!

    Thanks for the vest advice, I'll hunt around, I figure leather is a good in-vest-ment
    Very droll! After much deliberation last year, I invested (sorry!) in a leather Potaine Highland waistcoat. However, prior to that I wore a plain leather waistcoat from a general Leather shop in Croydon (of all ghastly places!)

    Hamish, I like the Potaine, I was a little concerned that it may not be suitable for casual wear tho', rather more for celtic events, what do you think?

    When I first wore it, Graham, I wondered if it might not be a bit on the 'costumey' side, and I believe it is when worn with a Jacobite shirt. However, I quickly got over that and just love the Potaine - possibly because it is just a little out of the ordinary! I wear mine with any long-sleeved shirt (it MUST be long sleeved, or it looks ghastly!) and with my Jacobite shirts, depending upon the occasion. We don't have Celtic Events anywhere around here, so I don't have that excuse or worry!

    My 'ordinary' leather waistcoat has not been worn for ages now ...... the Potaine is first choice! 8)

    Thanks Casey!

    Very nice. I like that look. Love the dark green Jacobite shirt, too. Do you think that shirt would go well with a dark kilt, say a Gunn tartan?
