    My new PC

    A while back I picked up a PC from the Scotland Kilt Company. They were having a sale on their navy PC's for about $120 with free shipping. I just checked the website, and they're still having the sale: http://www.thescotlandkiltcompany.co.uk Anyway, I thought I'd post some pics:

    Here is the jacket and waistcoat unworn:

    From the back:

    Button detail:

    I also got a ruche tie:

    Here I am wearing it with my Wallace and brogues:


    The PC is 15oz Barathea wool. It is a good quality garment, and it fit perfectly based on the measuring guide on the site. If you're looking for an inexpensive PC, this is the way to go.

    It looks good. Money well spent.

    I don't wish to rain on your parade here, but I can't help but think that a bow tie should be worn with your PC. In my humble old fashioned and traditional opinion,your outfit would look so much better.

    I know what you mean, and I think a bow tie looks great on some, I just don't like the look on me. Even with my tuxedo I wear a ruche or regular tie. The interesting thing is, since most people wear a bow tie with a tux, I get a lot of complements on my ties because I think more people notice them. To each their own.

    Oh yes, absolutely! Each to their own.

    Looking very smart - I love scrunchie (ruche) ties with a PC too!
