Linen Jacket

[HeathBar]

I think most of the typical jackets are still made in Scotland. And I would imagine that most jacket makers would see linen as an inferior material for highland dress. There just probably wouldn't be enough demand for it in Scotland.

There was an ebay retailer that was advertising linen kilt jackets, but I have not been able to find them recently.

I'd love to know just what percentage of the kilt/accessories business is local and how much is "overseas" at this point.

One of my buddies a The Duke of Perth was saying that another patron of said joint who is a Native Scot was making fun of the dumb-@ss Americans who were wearing kilts. I asked my friend to relay my comment that the kiltmakers were probably happy to have the business from those dumb-@ss Americans so he ought to think about it before he shoots his mouth off. While I'm sure that Dear Ol' Scotland makes a damn nice profit offa the whisky exports, the profit on the Woolens can't be too shabby.
