Fat guy in a little jacket!

[Farlander]

A Prince Charlie is a fine choice. It is quite formal, but for a piper, that should be fine.

Other excellent choices would include an Argyll or a Braemar.

As for your shape and/or size, as long as the jacket fits, any of the above would work and look great! An advantage to the PC is that it fits OK without as much tailoring as the others. This is one reason why a PC is the typical rental choice. If you are getting your jacket mail order or online, and you often have a problem with getting jackets to fit well, a PC would be a simpler choice.

That was the kind of response I was looking for. I wouldn't have thought the PC was a simpler jacket. Do you know what makes it so?
