The vest, and the jacket that I won (same vendor, different auction) were both available in any size. I'll specify the size when I complete the transaction and give the shipping details.

Good deal Crusty, If you won this from Scotland good luck getting it in time?

They sell the exact same jacket on their website (mytartan.com) at a regular price of £170.00, currently on sale for £99.00. Your price of £50.99 is fantastic! Congrats.

They claim that they usually deliver in 5-7 days... I don't need the jacket for nearly three weeks... If it's not here in time, I'll figure something out...

I'm not holding my breath.

Payment has been recieved, and my jacket and waistcoat should ship today. I asked about shipping, just to make sure they weren't using FedEx...The vendor uses Parcelforce. have any of you dealt with this courier before? I'm wondering how long it's going to take...

Ah, well... that's life... Since it's coming from Scotland I'm really not surprised. I'm still going to end up saving money vs. buying from a US source.

I didn't win that auction. My maximum bid was £50.00, and the auction ended while I was at church... We all have our priorities, I guess.

I won a similar auction and got the jacket for £79.00... Not quite as good a deal, but I'm still happy with the price I'm paying.
