Selecting a Day Kilt Jacket, advice.

[McMurdo]

I love the tweed sheriffmuir but I don't know where or when I would wear it. If it were me I would go for an Argyll jacket. If you are lucky you can find one on eBay or at a local tartan shop in your size. Here are a few of mine that I've picked up over the years some on EBay some at tartan shops and even one that was sent to me by a friend who purchased it but it didn't quite fit him.

This one was sent to me by a friend it's from 1931


This was handed down from a Grandfather


This was on consignment at a local tartan shop


Someone was selling this on the forum a while ago


I found this on EBay


Ex-Rental from a local tartan shop


This set I had made for me in a tartan I designed


I got this one from kilts4less.com for my nephew's wedding, though I would not wear it for daywear some others do.


So there are a myriad of ways of getting yourself a tweed day jacket. As I say I do like the jacket pictured but I do not know where I would wear it.

My question is, am I being too formal as a day jacket with this, is this considered acceptable? I just want to make sure before I invest a hefty sum to have this made.

That is gorgeous, and I wish I had one! But, I agree with Father Bill. It won't give you the flexibility to wear to most any daytime event that a basic Argyll, or one like he's wearing in his photo, or the kilt-kut jacket would. There are many- maybe most- daytime events at which that would look a bit too formal.

Therefore, my suggestion is..............................buy one of each!
