    Spotted an interesting Argyle jacket...

    So, I'm something of a fan of the band Keane and I was watching a video for their song 'Somewhere only we know. (It was a version I hadn't seen before.)
    If you watch closely, you'll see that the singer appears to be wearing n Argyle jacket but with larger 'floppier' collars and 3 buttons. It has the gauntlet cuffs, the three button pockets and the shortness and sporran cutaway.

    It really surprised me and I wondered if anyone else had noticed this or seen anything similar.

    Interesting

    Can't say that I have Arlen. I like the music though, I'll have to check them out somemore.

    Hmmm. I've liked the song for a while, but I've never seen the video before. Reminds me of why we don't usually button up an Argyle. But it does make me wonder if I could buy a more plain version of one to wear to wear with p@nts...

    Howie at 21st Century Kilts would know. Moisture is really tough on equipment isn't it.

    Seek ye out the places where the young and trendy shop. That jacket looks a lot like some of the things that yer twenty-somethin' crowd wears. Problem being that they're made for guys who wear a size 34 jacket and have a 28 waist so don't get your hopes up that you'll find something that's gonna fit.

    Best

    LOL. I have enough problems finding something short enough for me that fits my oversized shoulders and short arms. I'm built like a Pict.

    I'm just interested because I'd like something that I can wear with my Kilt more casually (Like with a shirt and sweater vest) that is also nice and light since I don't feel the cold very much but I sure do feel the heat terribly.
