Good Lord willing, I will be taking a bachelor's degree in nursing in June. For those of you that don't know, nursing school traditionally ends with a "pinning" ceremony, a quasi-religious ceremony, in which the professors send the new graduates into the science and art of nursing. My school has Episcopal roots, and has its pinning at the local Episcopal cathedral.

I've already ordered a new kilt from Matt Newsome, to be delivered in April or early May. I would like an Argyll jacket to where with the event; but don't know anything about vendors and dealers. I pretty much have to go mail order, since there are no shops here that cater to discriminating Highland wear.

I don't want anything made in Pakistan or India, obviously. I'd like a quality jacket.

Oh, and the fit: Do these jackets fit like American jackets? I normally wear a 44R in an suit jacket or sports coat. Do these jackets fit similarly; or should I order larger, and take it to a tailor?

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks.
