velvet or wool?

[creagdhubh]

I would love to get an emerald one, a dark blue one, a claret one...

I would like to own a coatee or some sort of Highland doublet (Balmoral, Kenmore, Montrose, Regulation) in similiar colours too, and I will one day, but first up is black.

Cheers,

Nice to see Balgonie up and about.

My own take on velvet is that it is best confined to collars; that said, a velvet Argyll with silk turn backs and facings really is the biz.
