RHF jacket, appropriate wear?

[macwilkin]

As cheap as it was, and appeared to be in good shape, I still think that it would have been a great jacket for around the farm, working the dogs. Not a dinner jacket, just a coat.
I'm still toying with the idea.

David,

Ur, ummm...I don't think you'd find it a suitable garment for farm work. This is a No. 2 Dress tunic, which designed to wear "on parade" instead of in the field. This would be like wearing a USMC "green" jacket or the US Army's "class A's" as work clothes.

I would recommend a Barbour or a "barn coat" for L.L. Bean or Woolrich rather than a No. 2 dress for working with the dogs.

Cheers,

Todd

Out of respect, unless you are a reenactor, I would "sanitize" it of all military accutrements (sp?) since you didn't earn the right to wear them.

I mean that not as an insult but more as a fact.

I can't stand it when I see Stargate fans wearing Air Force uniforms at conventions. As an Airman (NCO), I earned the right to wear the uniform, rank, and awards & decs. The 20 year old Lt Colonel wearing it so he can feel cool did not.

I am NOT comparing you to them. This is not a flame. It's just a pet peeve I have.

Having said all of that, I would've snagged this item if I had seen it. It looks great! There's no rule that says you can't come up with your own ensemble to compliment your kilts.

I'm working on right now that is a cross between an imperial officer (Star Wars) and a casual kilt. Why?

Because I can. ;)

Let's see some pics with you wearing the jacket with a kilt. :-)
