You know these flash in the pan types- one day it's red PCs, the next it's just red ink... A generous member has put me in the know for a MTM one stateside. I just need to collect enough bottles and cans.

I do like the suggestions of a red dress mess and/ or a red vest with a black PC. I will probably try both whilst waiting on the Big Red. I think it will be grand. Since I never did spring for a bespoke kilt, I can almost justify the excellent price for this jacket. Do you reckon we could get it considered for inclusion under my vision care plan? I am getting red to match my eyes.

I haven't run across any Huntsman red/ scarlet / pink coats. I HAVE seen a B Wetherill one on eBay and it cost about what my car is worth. There is a Moss Bros one listed now ( I know- a far cry from the other guys, but it is 40-50 years old. ) Unfortunately, it is not big enough for the MacLowlife equator...

When I rule the world, the kilted will live tax free. Anyone wearing the X Marks tartan will be given even greater privileges and those who wear full mask sporrans will enjoy the well-deserved praise of a grateful populace...

But don't hold your breath- these MTM jobs take at least 6 weeks.

Oh and Happy Halloween
