A formal Argyll also marks a man out as a man of style, one not bonded to the herd timorously attired in Prince Charlie coatees, wishing they had the nerve to ask their wife to put something else in her purse.
Hahaha! Well put, Scott...you made my day with this post! Especially with your last comment, in which my own wife could surely attest to.

Cheers,
