Yes, yes. Where did you get that jacket?!

I ordered the jacket and waistcoat from scottishkilts.net. Although it took a while to arrive, I was very pleased. The tag that came on the pair is "St. Kilda". I was very specific, though, in the style that I wanted- no epaulets, no cuffs, etc.

I believe that they term the 3-button, more conservative version that I have the "Wallace", but the link below takes you to a picture of the jacket that I have. Names on kilt jackets are too confusing (Argyll, Braemar, Craill, Wallace, etc.). I think it is much better to specify the features you are looking for.

Cordially,

And, of course, the pleat detail-

Love the combo of the colors and

with envy over the kilt. Now I got to get on the Matt Newsome list! Enjoy and thanks for sharing the pics.

Great looking kilt!

Funny, but late last night /early this morning I posted my tartan(s) & why, and in my consideration list I listed Weathered Lochaber.
Thanks to this thread I've just now moved it into my wish list!
