    That's a nice-looking jacket.

    Here's a thought... I've always followed Hamish's advice and not worn a tartan tie with a kilt, leving the kilt, as he put it, to get all the glory. But with a three button jacket like that one (most are one or two-button) and a five button waistcoat, not that much tie actually shows, and there's a lot of jacket/waistcoat between the kilt ant the tie. With all that separation, I might be tempted to wear a tie in the same tartan as the kilt.

    Just a thought.

    Did you purchase the waistcoat to go with the jacket? It looks smart, Graham.

    That's a great jacket. It should serve you well for all sorts of occasions.

    I agree with Alan. A tie in matching tartan would look good, especially with a waistcoat.

    Tartan tie?? that is heresy, Hank, ban this fellow immediately!! Hamish, did you hear that??

    actually, I did think of that too. The waistcoat is in the deal, which I thought was good. I won't wear it to the wedding, it will be too hot.

    It is a great looking jacket. You should do your DD proud, Graham. You'll put that model to shame, too, no doubt. ;)

    You are too kind Sherry, I'll do a review of the jacket when it arrives. I've had an email to let me know it's been shipped.
    that level of communication is always a good sign.
