    That's very cool. I'm interested to see how the collar conversion goes.

    That looks really good. Don't suppose your Mum fancies taking it up full time? There would be a lot of guys on this site who would order them I'm sure. The guy who made my jacket said getting the collar to sit up right was the hardest bit of all so good luck there. You probably need some kind of stiff material sewn in.

    Great doublet!!! I wear a doublet in my band, and I know how intricate they can be.

    Will you be getting a piper's plaid soon?

    That looks really good! The only suggestion I would have is that it looks as though it would benefit from having some stiffening added to the tashes to keep them from folding so easily. I'm impressed, though!

    I wouldnt mind a pipers Plaid, I quite like using a fly plaid with it, I know its not strictly accurate to do so but its a lot less cumbersome, and I dont wear it with a band, Ive spats and all sorts of stuff but Im sort of building the no1 outfit up as I go along, I normally wear an Argyll jacket but the doublet saves ironing a shirt!
