Argyll jacket from Scottishkilts

[Archangel]

It does look very good.

[Sindarius]

Aye it looks sharp on you Graham. I'd like to get an Argyll someday. Trouble is I'll have to fight off the urge to buy another kilt in the meantime

Well I waited a couple of years until the need was there, a dozen or so kilts came first.
I think I have Hamish-itus, a rare disease that compels a lad to buy more and more kilts, regardless of what the wife, kids and family friends may say.
I think I caught the disease in London, last July, about the time I was having lunch with hamish.

Like many drugs, it leaves the sufferer with a short lived feeling of elation when trying on the newest kilt. However, this feeling soon subsides and when a new tartan is discovered on the internet the craving returns, stronger than ever.

The only advice I can give to my sons is to never ever let a kilt come even close to their bodies, so they don't become like their father.

Sadly, and typically, sons don't listen to the wisdom of their fathers, they go and make their own mistakes.
Two of my three sons have worn a kilt from time to time. They are young, there is time yet to avoid this disease.

(Hamish, only kidding, you're an inspiration!)

Graham,

The jacket and waistcoat look great, nice kilt too! I considered buying both of those as well, but finally after some thought, I ended up with the black argyle jacket.

I just know one day I will end up buying this jacket and waistcoat, it looks great. I know, it's part of the disease, but I have to get another kilt first.

Jim, I know folks here have varying opinions on waistcoats, but having one now I think I really like them.
It kinda broadens the use of the jacket. In fact a fellow kiltwearer came to my office today to view the jacket and said he liked the option of waistcoat and kilt even without the jacket. I agree.

It's a bit like two coats for the price of one.
the fact that scottishkilts.net offered the two as a package made me go for the deal.

Graham, that ensemble looks really good on you.

I think you should go with some silver on the sporran, rather than fur. With the plain charcoal and plain buttons, I think it will bring a sparkle to the outfit, especially since you're not wearing a belt.

Andrew.

[Graham]

thanks Andrew, I agree with you and I'm looking for a sporran to give that sparkle, maybe with fur too, but not seal - I like seals. Maybe rabbit, I hate rabbits (this is australia remember!!)

If anyone knows of a good deal with such a sporran, now is the time to speak up!!:grin:

Very sharp Graham! Dressier than you would be in a similar suit WITH a tie, and with the kilt, you just look even better! I may have to think about one of these for the office Holiday party this year. People generally dress up a bit for it, and this would be the perfect look, and let me stand out from the rest of the suits!

Looking sharp Graham. I take it those are the charcaol hose from scottishkilts.net? They have been sitting on my wish list for some time now, and will definitely be included in the next order.

I went with the silver buttons for the jacket and waistcoat. Of course the bone buttons are on their way, so I can dress the jacket and waistcoat up or down as I please. I agree completely with Raphael about the silver tie, it goes well with the silver in my beard.

Very Sharp! I really like the look of that jacket.
