Looking very smart John.
The jacket and waistcoat look like they could have made to match that Australian tartan kilt.

A classic cut always looks sharp and will stand the test of time. Being a tweed, you will be able to wear them with other kilts also. Well done, EB!
Easy to see that the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree. You two make a handsome pair!

I agree with you Colin that the term "contemporary" is a bit loose for an article such as this one and I also think it's more "unadorned traditional" than wildly modern.
The reason I used the term is this is how it's described on the suppliers website. I was reluctant to include a direct link to HoS (as far as I'm aware they don't sponsor here), but I figured some people may still wish to follow the clues to find the source. Without some sort of steer, on arrival they would find a positive morass of jacket styles and it might be time consuming to nail the exact one. The term "contemporary" identifies this jacket from all the others straight away, in the context of this particular website.
To everyone else, thanks for all the favourable comments but in all honesty it's wasn't me who found it first. I really must thank Piipriker for putting me onto this jacket and it's source. He was wearing one when we met up last November and I was so taken by it, I have to admit, I didn't hang about getting one meeself. It really is a cracker.

Lon Scot Reg Secretary & Mike - It is the Army Benevolent Fund (ABF) tie. Options to suit all budgets. [ Silk ] [ Polyester ] It's a charity tie and looks great with all smart ensembles. There are no restrictions on who can wear it.
Incidentally, for anyone who's interested, the poppy lapel badge I'm wearing in the photo can be obtained via The Royal British Legion "Poppy Shop"
Scottish Poppy pin badges can be got from the "Poppy Scotland Store".
Hawk - I'll take more pics and post them here when I get chance. Please bear with me, work is in the way at the moment.

Kind Sir, could you please post a few more photos of the finished jacket and waistcoat. I'd especially like to view a few of the jacket material up close as to see the texture and color/pattern.
thank you.....
