    With that in mind I would say look first at Ex Hire Argyle (or Argyll) jacket. You don't need a vest if it's going to be warm as June. You can search and should find some great prices. Ebay for Ex Hire is also a good choice, maybe a little less predicatable but still good.

    If you can't find what you need there is still time to order one from the shops on the site. There have been plenty of review here and the sites that say the make great jackets. I'll be pressing to get an Argyll jacket myself a soon as some pressing bills are paid... any a kilt or two are scratched off.

    Good luck.

    Getting really excited about putting this together. As I stated previously, I've ordered the kilt (5-yard 16-oz wool Campbell Tartan from USA Kilts). I also ordered custom kilt hose from New House Highland. The hose are ancient blue, and the knit top is checked Dark grey with Bottle green. I think the combination is going to look fantastic and I can't wait to see it in person.

    I'm considering traditional garter ties in purple - I think it might look really stunning. Especially if my tie has some purple as well. And maybe my shoelaces...

    Still hunting the jacket....

    To be continued...

    I bought a navy jacket.. $209 and requested that it be made with horn buttons instead of silver. It was actually a bit more than that, since I'm a size 52 jacket, but your size will be $209. The jacket is light, perfect for So Cal and it looks like a KILT jacket rather than a sportcoat that's been adapted.....we've talked about this already.
