I like these pictures, too, especially the one with your straight-cut waistcoat.

Thanks Dbh,

I really like it as well, and of course, I got the idea for the straight cut bottom from the thread here on HRH, The Duke of Rothesay, and I chose the straight lay out of the tartan for, what appears to me to be, a slightly less formal look than the those cut on the bias.

The town you're thinking of is actually Gilroy California, which bills itself as "The Garlic Capitol of the World". It is just over the hill from Watsonville though so you are really close. It is also close to Castroville, which is the Artichoke (American thistle ) capitol of the world.

Many folks are unaware that California is actually the largest agriculture producing state in the U.S. Let's hear it for vegetables!! WooHoo!!
