Kilt Jacket Sizing

**macwilkin** · 23rd June 05, 07:52 AM

Actually, "Argyle" is a variant of "Argyll": for example, there is Argyle Street in Glasgow, and at one time, Argyll was known as Argyle: my great-great grandmother's tombstone has "born Argyleshire Scotland 1830" enscribed on it.

Cheers,

Todd

Whatever the spelling, I've ordered the jacket from them. Now I just have to wait for the delivery.

Which one did you order?

I ordered the Tweed Argyle with 5 Button Waistcoat in charcoal. I wanted a more general purpose jacket that I could wear to the office or other non-formal occasions.

I assume you mean this one : http://scottishkilts.net/products/sc...waistcoat.html

That's actually the same on I got too. It's very nice, and is quite versatile.

Mine only took about 4 weeks to arrive, but they did not have my size in stock, so it needed to be made before it could be shipped.

Yeah, that's the one I ordered. So you're saying I'll probably have mine within about a month. That times it perfectly with the due date for my traditional Kilt.

Don't quote me on that, but mine was about a month and it needed to be specially made. David at Scotishkilts.net is very good with answering emails, and should be able to provide a more accurate due date. Enjoy your jacket.

There's also a Plymouth Argyle football club, a village of Argyle in Wisconsin, and dozens of other Argyles. But that doesn't change the fact that the Scottish region is Argyll, and that's how the jacket is properly spelled. The fact that they can't even get common words like "occasion" makes me feel sure that this is ignorance, and not clever reference to obscure historical variations. And with something as basic a spelling the name of the jacket, it undermines my own faith that this is a quality company. Maybe that's just me.

Well, I have one of their jackets, and it may not be spelled right, but it is a quality made product. Pair that with the outstanding customer sevice they provided me, and I will be a return customer......... without question.

Speaking as someone that has had numerous occasions to use web designers, no matter how many times you provide the content for your site, sometimes web guys change it thinking that you have made the spelling error. This may be a web site problem rather than a company problem.
