Dude!! That's awesome!! I was planning on doing the Groundskeeper Willie thing myself, but I have spent so much money on my pre-Jacobite outfit for my living history group that I couldn't justify the expenditure.

I once got to buy a $80 Gerber knife because my wife packed the keys to my bike when we moved and I had to buy it to cut the chain off. And she apologized for me having to buy it.

(I am already jonesing for my SWK order, dang it. )

Luckily for you (and me!!) that jones doesn't last long. I ordered a long plaid for my outfit.

This is what I'm working towards using the MacKenzie weathered tartan. I don't have the socks or shoes yet, and I don't have the over the shoulder baldric, but otherwise, I have the whole thing either on hand or in the works. My doublet is being made right now by my living history groups costumer, and I should have it soon (gods willing! Halloween is going to be cold!) Buckle shoes and diced socks are going to be my next purchases. Those will have to wait until after Christmas, though.
