    A subject near and dear to my heart...

    First, let me post this link to what is the closest kilt shop near me:

    http://www.thescottishshop.com/tailors.shtml

    Note that they say that they offer custom tailoring services...I haven't had a chance to run over there and see what they have. I understand that they keep rather irregular business hours and I once called them looking for kilt hose in a color other than white and the proprietor was, shall we say, less than enthusiastic about kilt hose in a color other than white...a bit crabby? Sorry I asked, good sir.

    What I'm really looking for is a very plain jacket and vest that would do for everyday wear. Think the Wallace Jacket and vest from Scottishkilts.net...plain buttons, plain cuffs on the jacket. I think that it would help people accept kilt wearing in everyday business situations if the only difference between my outfit and their outfit is the kilt; if everything else is basic and plain and not bedecked with epaulets and silver buttons. Just my opinion...
