    Well, IMHO I think you got a nice take on what could be called "Country Gentleman; Retired Military". Yes, the cain and sporran are a touch rustic rather than true military, but that lends a bit of character that would not be there if 100% of military bearing.

    I would think the fly would be apropos to what the weather was doing, nice touch on a night with freezing fog rolling off the heather. Were the weather more like that in Jamie's corner of the world, or mine for that matter, it probably would not be as useful. However in the PNW, such an addition could add a level of comfort without the need for a shooting coat, or cape.

    I think you are doing the rabble a service is showing how integrating economical parts into a pleasing whole can be managed, with out busting the budget, yet reaching a serviceable level of distinction.

    Tally ho! Cheers!ith:

    Thank you SIR.

    Actually your take on the "plaid" is correct. It was added because the the weather was such (low 30s), as it added "comfort this "old man" needed & I did not want to wear my cape. A "plaid" is a common assesory for me because of this.
