    New Tweed Jacket

    I have been visiting various thrift stores in my area for a while now hunting for a good tweed jacket to be converted into a kilt jacket. Last week i finally found one that fit and looked good at my local goodwill. 7.99 for the jacket, I couldn't say no. I took it down to my local alterations shop and told them what i needed done. They said no problem, and three days later i finally had a tweed kilt jacket. I am very pleased. Now i just need to make a dressier sporran, but i think that will have to wait until after the holidays. Kilt is a SWK standard in Leatherneck tartan.

    Thanks to all for the nice comments. I was wondering how long it would take someone to comment on the Whisky. I didn't even notice it was in the shot until i posted the pic here, I suppose it is rather appropriate though. I do like my single malts. For those interested in the shot are Dalmore, Aberlour, Aberlour A'Bunadh, Bowmore, Caol Ila, Ardbeg, Tyrconnell (an Irish single malt), Bushmills, Auchentoshan, and Tomatin.
