Good deal on Harris tweed...

...but these are normal "sport coats" , not kilt-cut. Posting this a service to those who might be interested; however the price reduction should interest any Scot.

I was searching for a tweed jacket (for my wife to give me as a present <wink>) and came across this company in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Many others offer the same coat, but not at anything close to this price. I ordered one by phone.
This link takes you to their Tall page, but at the top you can select Regular or Short sizes as well; I believe Harris tweed is offered in those areas as well and at similar prices.

Muldoons.com

Mine arrived today and exceeded my expectations in every regard. It's well tailored, came with pockets and tail vent basted closed, sleeves nicely lined, buttons solidly attached...and fits like a glove. Highly recommended if you're in the market for such a thing.

Happy new year to all; mine's off to a great start!

That seems a decent price for a new Harris tweed jacket, but still too rich for my blood. I got lucky at the thrift shop recently and found one for $7

Nice! I paid 14.99 each at Value Village recently! You know how to find a deal, Colin!

It seems that you also know how to find a deal. The best I have done was $21.00 at Value Village for Harris Tweed in blue herringbone by Alexander of London.

Last Summer, I was lucky enough to find two Harris Tweed jackets at one of our local Goodwill thrift stores. They were $4.99 each. They are hanging in my closet, waiting to be altered into kilt jackets.

I have been browsing the Muldoons link that CameronCat posted, looking at the regular sizes. I must say, I like the cut and style of the jackets, but I am confused by something. Take this rather beautiful item as an example:

http://www.muldoons.com/Harris-Tweed...IIMAIP/Product

If you read the description it says that it is Harris Tweed and it also says it is made in China.
The quoted prices are not dissimilar to a tailored Harris Tweed jacket made in Scotland. I have not seen their jackets to be able to read the labels and am wondering if this is simply a mistake on the part of the store.
