    I've sent in a question asking about the cloth weight.

    I also recently received an order from them for an 8 yard wool kilt in the Heritage of Scotland tartan and the price was nearly unbelievable for the quality of the item. I have high hopes that the jacket may be similarly priced for its quality. (IE nearly too good to be true!)

    I'm lookin' and it looks like one of the jackets that one of our members had for sale last year. Long story that I won't get into but he eventually set up a web site to sell them rather than through the forum.

    I did get one and, if it's the same type, it's okay and of a decent weight fabric. Not custom made fine tailoring but certainly a very adequate off-the-rack type jacket. The dark color makes it look a little more formal than I'd like and, in retrospect, a middle grey tweed would have probably been more flexible (and is still on my things-to-get list).

    When I got one through the member, vests weren't available and that's something that I wish was get-able in that deal...the vest helps a lot in terms of versatility.

    Best

    I have had well over a dozen purchases from them and have not had cause to regret one of them. All have been value for money and delivered in a timely fashion.

    Just one example: A contemporary jacket and five button waistcoat, delivered to my door in seven days. The total cost - £15 If I don't change shape it will last a lifetime.

    If you are going to wear a particular jacket every day (like a uniform), then you need the very best hard wearing material. If on the other hand, you will be rotating your jackets and only wearing it one a month, then you will only need a far lesser quality.

    Regards
