    I have two made-to-measure Argylls from Lochcarron through Kathy's Kilts who did the logistics. I chose the Argyll over the other styles available for no other reason than that I liked that look best.

    No rocket science or rules...my money, I like, I buy that one.

    Waiting for the Earth to tilt its axis so its cool enough here to wear them.

    Both jackets are nice, though I tend to prefer the less-common Braemar.

    I also recently purchased a black Lochcarron argyll jacket. I paid a bit more for it than some other argylls I've seen but Lochcarron's quality is beyond impeccable. A lot of other people on this board prefer the crail style of jacket because of it's more subdued contemporary style, but I like the argyle style specifically because it is very differently looking than a normal suit jacket. I figure since my kilt is a traditional Scottish garment, I want a more traditional jacket when I dress up. Granted, I only plan to wear the jacket for semi formal and formal occassions. I almost never wear a sport coat for day wear. If I did, I'd more than likely buy a nice crail jacket in tweed.
