^^ bad advice.

Nice. I've been thinking about getting a tweed; the conversion route might be the way to go.

I've got a total of $81.49 in this jacket. Can't beat the price.

I too like his look. The great thing is that a nice TANK can go both ways. Dressed up for Kirk and Dressed down for mucking about in the glen. I speaks to the virsitility of a well built, properly fitting kilt.

I have no idea.

A neutral tweed is the kilt equivalent of the Chanel Black Jacket.
Cloth, Cut, Construction & Fit make something that appears very simple and lifts it into a investment piece that will last for years.
(all of the above is reverse psychology.... Hope it works)

So, is the tweed jacket the Little Black Dress of our wardrobe? Everyone should have one to base a look upon. I think the thrift store find above would look great along side the MacKenzie tartan.
