Personally, I like the style and find it a refreshing change from the standard Argyll jackets which also are well represented in my wardrobe.
Take care,

I'm with hamish on this one.
I think in this modern world some are too concerned with fitting in to a type. Whilst there are loose conventions on highland attire, it is true, but there is ample room for a spot of personal flair.
