New: Blue Sporran and Belt

[Jock Scot]

Great look!!! Congrats on the sporran, but I'm more intrigued by the jacket...(showing my newbie-ness here), What do you call that jacket, and where can I find one?

That is an Argyll, you can tell by the cuffs and general "cut" of the jacket. Any good highland attire shop will make you one and, no doubt, they will have "off the peg" ones too.

............................................. I really like that kilt pin too. If I may ask, where did you get it and is it silver or pewter ? Thanks in adavance. Again, You look smashing !

My apologies for the delay in responding. The pin is pewter with a blue stone set at the top (I also have two others - one with a red stone, the other with a topaz (golden colour)). I selected this pewter pin originally because there is no way I would wear a real claw!

As for where I got them, it was many years ago but I think I bought them here:

Many thanks for the compliments - so much appreciated - but if I can pull it off, anyone can.

Take care,
Ham.

Yes, Budd, Jock has beaten me to it! As he so rightly says, the jacket is an Argyll - the gauntlet-style cuffs being the giveaway features. This one, in a blue-mix tweed, was woven and tailored for me by Geoffrey (Tailor) Ltd in Edinburgh - it is much bluer than ever it shows in photos. I also have the same tweed Argyll in brown, beige/brown mix, charcoal and bottle green - all from Geoffrey (Tailor).

Take care,
Ham.

That would be the Auld Reekie range correct?

Aye Glen, the blue, brown, charcoal and bottle green are all Auld Reekie tweeds woven by Geoffrey (Tailor) themselves at the Old Town Weaving Mill next to Edinburgh Castle, although I am not so sure that they still weave the blue-mix - they do not list it! The beige/brown tweed jacket was made for me from a one-off experimental weave of theirs and is not available now.

Take care,
Ham.

My compliments on the Argyle and the blue leathers. The hose work well with the blue leather also. I bow to you, sir.

Your sense of style never ceases to amaze. Snappy outfit!

Blue shoes, Phil? Blue shoes! Oh, come now, I really do not want to make a spectacle of myself. But, wait a minute! Was it Elvis who sang about 'Blue suede shoes'? Maybe they would work .......... but, ......... on the other hand, no! Best not!!

Take care,
Ham.

Nice Sporran, Ham. As for the blue shoes, they are not uncommon. Doc Marten has been making blue boots for years.

Very nice Hamish
