    Both are sooper Ebay finds, the jacket is a Kenmore style but with argyll cuffs it in dark green heavy wool with gold buttons and was made by WF Docherty in Glasgow, the waistcoat fits really well with my Harris tweed IoS kilt and is from a firm up in Aberdeen who's name escapes me at the moment

    The double ended watch chains are usually refered to as "Prince Albert" chains, presumably because he wore them.
