Help me dress my piper...

Hey check this one out, too. I'd forgotten them. I haven't used them, but you will find the prices are right. And, they'll make a tunic in cotton so it's not so stinkin' hot! (I don't know where you are, but around here, you'll burn up in a doublet most of the year!)

KYPNKILT beat me to it.

I cannot recommed J. Higgins too highly. Their coats and kilts are made in house, and they are very quick to replace a stock item that does not fit. Only word of caution is that the coats fit a bit more snugly than most off the peg stuff you buy these days, so if he is, say, a 44 chest, it is better to order a 46. At least that is my experience with them.

And I second the motion that he is a lucky man!

Thank you all ever so much! i see there are quite a few choices when you know where to look.

My husband is lucky to have such a rich cultural heritage. Anyone that has it certainly ought to embrace it! (And i LOVE a man in a kilt!)

Pipers in military, police and fire department bands typically wear a doublet and plaid. Civilian pipers usually wear just a vest during the summer and an Argyll style jacket when weather permits.
