We haven't had much activity here lately, so I thought I'd propose a new topic. Scarlet or red or crimson jackets have a long history in the British military, including Scottish military uniforms. I hope someone can cite a few examples of THCD wear that include red jackets.

Maybe it is the confluence of several influences, but my world includes lots of red jackets. People are tired of seeing my red PC here. I have a decommissioned scarlet Mess jacket that I sometimes wear with my kilt, too. I was recently pleased to score a Saxon blazer made from solid red Harris Tweed. And my favorite quarter-zip fleece jacket is bright red.

Red is, of course, an eye-catching color: the color of stop signs and traffic signals, the color of the dreaded red flag, of blood, of Christmas. We see party clothes in all shades of red, from the sailor's washed out Breton red to deep burgundy velvet smoking jackets

But grown men (in the west) don't wear red as an everyday color for business clothing- unless they are sports commentators or theatre ushers. Is it too sporty, too festive, or just too gaudy?

What say the THCD crowd about a wooly red Argyll jacket for a night at the pubs or a day at the highland games?

Please post your photos of red jackets worn as THCD.
