My New le Villeneuve Jacket

[kiltedtom]

Simon,

I must say that I have never seen a jacket like that. It is a wonderful piece of clothing. It looks like it is comfortable as well as a thing of beauty to see. Congratulations on great taste and enjoy!

Thank you kilted Tom that is very kind of you to say, I must say that I am very proud and more than
pleased with it.

You made a good choice there, Simon, well done. It looks grand! <Ponders how it might look above a kilt and bias-cut waistcoat in the R'Lyeh tartan. Hoo-yeah!>

Incidentally, the Lady Crystel and Robert have an image of my le Villeneuve on her website. It is the Bamboo Velvet Doublet, and it is what I am wearing in my avatar, with my Cameron of Erracht (weathered) kilt. My, we cut a dashing bunch, don't we Simon?

I wonder if the roll of material in the photo with Chrystel on her home page, is that same recent weaving of the Norwegian Night tartan from which my piece was cut before Martons sent the rest of it to Chrystel? I think it is every bit as handsome as Black Stewart; but it will be many moons before I sew mine up into a wearable garment.

Indeed we are quite the sartorial thing Ian! Funny but I will be wearing mine with my Cameron of Erracht weathered kilt too.

Good timing there Simon. Just in time to match the heather coming into full bloom!

Sounds a bit matchy-matchy to me

Finally i have managed to get the camera out to show the full ensemble. Kilt by the brilliant Paul Henry, Jacket by the wonderful Lady Chrystel.

Bravo! Very sharp indeed!

[Holcombe Thomas]

That just looks plain good!

You do know, of course, that you are making us all jealous.
