Wow that's pretty sharp, did you buy it? I'd like one but I'm afraid I'd look like stuffed sausage in it. (a serious "DON'T")

It looks like the table cloth in my dining room, I'm gonna check if there's a patch missing. Thief!!

Looks like one to me!

I take it it was the jacket you were trying on - just as well you are not supposed to fasten all those buttons!

I was just trying it on. It was 1) quite spendy, and 2) the wrong size. I've had on my list the "swordsman" doublet from them for quite a while, however.

I don't know what "pricey" is for you, but I know that SportKilt has swordsman's vests for something like $90.

Here's a couple pics Mrs.Zardoz took at the Houston Rodeo Cookoff this weekend. Our rodeo and related events are a really huge deal every year, Houstonians who would never be caught dead in boots and jeans the other 49 weeks of the year really turn out for it

. I personally avoid it like the plage, but my wife is quite involved. This year a couple of scotch distillers had some kind promotions there, and encoraged folks to come in Scottish national dress, so...

Do, play your pipes for good tips! (a lad from our world champ St.Thomas highschool band)

The top one I like.

In the bottom pic, the guy on the right seems ok, if he would change to a more casual belt and sporran, and loose the hose and cowboy boots.

The guy on the left… loose the pants-with-kilt look.
