    Flea Market Kilt Jacket

    I went over to two of the local flea markets this morning. At the second one I spotted what appeared to be a tweed jacket. I took a closer look and it was actually a tweed kilt jacket. It's a size larger than what I normally wear but I'm not complaining. It needs cleaning and pressing so I'm going to drop it off at the cleaners next week.
    Here's a few pics -




    I think it's worth the $10.00 I paid for it.

    In the true tradition of the thrifty Scotsman. . . . I applaud your Luck (?). I never find anything that is close to my size (sigh)

    Wow, great find. Stopped by the Salvation Army store today, but not much going on as far as suit jackets.

    A few words of advice- if you like shopping in thrift stores, consignment stores and such, check the area that has the womens clothing. I've found six kilts there.

    Think outside the box when it comes to kilts and accessories. You never know what you may find or where you may find it.
