Graham, I sympathise with you as regards the cost of kilt jackets (and indeed, other highland items). However, bargains can be found on ebay. I just bought a black barrathea argyll jacket in new condition for £45!

I have never, ever felt or looked smarter than I do in kilt and jacket. 1000 times better than a traditional suit.

by the way, an ebay tip: try searching for argyl as well as argyll. both spellings are used.

Once you have the jacket, you'll love the look!!
