On the Bubble...
So, here I am, having ordered my new Argyle Jacket from USA Kilts. Given their recent sale - and my need for a made-to-measure jacket because of my, ahem, distinguished size - I couldn't pass it up.
So, now I'm on the bubble, waiting, waiting... It's like Christmas is coming, but Thanksgiving only just passed.
Oh, well, I'm sure that six weeks will pass before I know it.

The "standard" black barathea with silver buttons and gauntlet cuffs, with waistcoat. Though once I get this one, I'll probably order a daywear jacket, too (I'm paranoid about the measurements - I got a band jacket once that the maker measured me for, and even at my size, I was swimming in the thing. I could have fit two of me in it).

I'm sure you'll be satisfied... I ordered a PC jacket from USA kilts at the beginning of the year (from the same ultimate source as their Argyls) and it's fantastic. Plus? Rocky worked to get it to me in time for our Burns supper.

I have an Argyll and waistcoat from USAK. I love it, and only wish I had more opportunity to wear it!
