My long-awaited new kilt-suit.

[Wompet]

It's a very nice looking kilt suit, but (dare I say it) the bottom of the waistcoat looks cut too high, and there's no sporran cut-out to the jacket.

Perfect timing to match your suit with your garden! You couldn't have planned it any better. I like it. It's not what I expected from the title. My experience with tweed has always been the flecked variety.

Man, I hate tweed... But that looks GOOD on you!

Many thanks everyone for your kind comments. I am so very thrilled with this, my fifth, kilt suit and I have to say that it received a fair few verbal compliments when I wore it publicly for the first time, at Petworth House yesterday - although I wore it without the waistcoat as the weather was so unseasonally mild. I am on the receiving-end of verbal comments so seldom thesedays so those, together with your written ones, have given me a tremendous boost.

Note to Wompet: I appreciate your comments about the waistcoat length and the lack of a deliberate sporran cut-away on the jacket - but that is the way I wanted it on this suit. Actually, I do not intend wearing a sporran very often with it as there are so many useful pockets in the jacket and waistcoat!

Note to David: yes, me dearie-oh, I "uderstand" perfectly. Nice bit of word-play there!

Note to Jock: The Storrington Estate tweed? What a splendid idea, but alas I cannot claim its exclusivity. It is one of a range of country tweeds from Brook Tavener.

Note to O'Neille: Tweeds come in many different 'designs' or styles. You might be more familiar with the Harris Tweed one. Mine is rather lighter in weight than many.

Wow, Hamish. It's stunning and you wear it so well.
