Puffer, I rather admire your unstudied sense of style and eye for color, and what I like best about it is that you are able to find an assortment of wardrobe parts and put them together in a way that has visual appeal without looking like you just stepped out of a closet full of Garanimals.
Regards,
Rex.

I second this. Any outfit can be picked apart for every minute detail. No one in real life is going to study you that long. When you walk into the room, you WILL make a statement.
Now, where do I get a jacket like that?

O.K. , I guess. I am sure Jamie has better taste in this area than I. But my tuppence is the look would be great without the plaid. The kilt, hose, jacket, walking stick, and cover go very well together, and resemble what is the senior gent on a walk through the park should look like. I.M.H.O. the plaid and the jacket do not belong together.

As I scrolled down through the photos, I could not help but get the impression that you would have been better off leaving the plaid at home, like Jamie, I feel the plaid and your stick just do not go with the theme and look of the rest of the outfit. I would tend to use them for a different look than what you have here.

Give the plaid to Capt Mac to go with his new Weathered MacKenzie

Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.

Puffer-
I think you look great! I have a penchant for military cut jackets with "civilian" attire, so your look is right up my alley.

I actually don't care for the look myself, as it wouldn't work for me. What I really like, is that someone is taking a look that would not occur to me, making it his own, and making it really work!
I couldn't wear what Puffer wears and make it work, that's why I like what he's doing so much.
Classy and original, a rare combination.

Well, IMHO I think you got a nice take on what could be called "Country Gentleman; Retired Military". Yes, the cain and sporran are a touch rustic rather than true military, but that lends a bit of character that would not be there if 100% of military bearing.
I would think the fly would be apropos to what the weather was doing, nice touch on a night with freezing fog rolling off the heather. Were the weather more like that in Jamie's corner of the world, or mine for that matter, it probably would not be as useful. However in the PNW, such an addition could add a level of comfort without the need for a shooting coat, or cape.
I think you are doing the rabble a service is showing how integrating economical parts into a pleasing whole can be managed, with out busting the budget, yet reaching a serviceable level of distinction.
Tally ho! Cheers! ith:
