Thrift Store SCORE
I'm sorry, I just have to brag.
I went thift storing yesterday, and I made out like a bandit. I've never been so lucky... and every item I purchased will/could be worn with a kilt.
I bought three jackets.
Jacket #1 is a nylon USAF style (or perhaps USAF issue... I am roughly 1/2 hour from an air force base) nylon bomber jacket in OD green. It's in great shape, and will look equally good with jeans or a kilt.
Jacket #2 is a raincoat/trenchcoat/great coat, in a dark olive, with a zip-out liner... Very heavy, very warm, and long enough to be kilt friendly.
Jacket #3 is a brown wool tweed sport coat that will be modified into a kilt jacket. I might outsource the mod, as I don't really trust myself with scissors... but it will be nice to have a jacket to wear when shirt sleeves aren't enough and my Argyll is too much.
But here's the best part...
All three jackets cost less than $25 US.
I'll see about getting some pics tonight.
