I think that is the right course of action and you will be very happy once it arrives. I look forward to seeing the photos of your new jacket and waistcoat when they arrive.

Your revised choice should be a great looking addition to your wardrobe.

Regardless of the relative merits of the styles, I find the fabric you’ve selected marvelous. Very much looking forward to the photos!
It will be a long ten weeks, indeed.

Thank you, I feel much better on the choice, and Jock pushed me over the line. Jock's comments are usually on target and I appreciate his honesty and frankness.

I had a jacket and waistcoat made by them recently, it finally arrived a few weeks ago and I wore it to a colleague's retirement party (apologies for having to tilt your heads):

I went with the simpler style they offer as I really like the clean look and silhouette and it is hands down the best kilt jacket I've ever had or handled. To do better I'd expect you'd have to go full bespoke like McMurdo. I think you'll be quite pleased when you have it in hand.

That is a wonderful looking set. I'd wear them in a heartbeat. Nice looking Maple Leaf tartan as well, where abouts in Canada are you if you don't mind my asking.

It looks great with our national tartan!

Thank-you so much for posting the photo and especially with the flat bottomed waist coat. Being a fellow with a rather large aspect I can see that the flat bottomed waist coat may help to lessen the protrusion, a waist coat with points often makes the larger tummy more pronounced..... it also allows the sporran to be worn a bit higher (which I like) without interfering with the waist coat.....thanx again
