Looking for a Jacket like this...

Sanford, that is indeed the type of jacket I am after. However, after searching tartanweb.com I couldn't find that particular jacket from the image. Have I got the spelling of the web address wrong, perhaps?

They made that jacket several years ago. I haven't seen it on their website for some time, but I would certainly enquire.

Sorry Michael, but the significance of that calculation is (temporarily) escaping me! What am I missing, apart from a brain? Take care, Ham.

If you want a true 18th C. configured jacket, Missy Clark at "Barkertown Sutlery" is an excellent source. She's very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. Most of my period duds were made by her....

Hamish, my apologies! I was referring to the number of kilts you have. (I know, I know, it's not a race!)

**michaelbeeman** · 26th March 08, 02:01 PM

Brian, thanks for the link, her stuff looks very well made. Lots and lots to consider now, thanks all.

Aye, as Brian stated, Missy Clark does an excellent job. Many of the Jacobite reenactors use her and she knows her historical garments. slainte' Malcolm

Yeah, but I like Ancienne Alliance's offer of a trip to France! Nicer than my pad near Camster (and probably in better condition). I'd bring some very good single malt old as the hills and smooth as velvet if I take them up on it!
