Where is that box of tartan scraps......?

I think the style fits in with an American Preppy and old money Cape Cod look that has a kind of a "Shock-the-Bourgeoisie" aesthetic.

The perfect outfit would be the Orvis jacket with these pants, a pale pink IZOD polo with the collar up and topsiders with no socks, hair slightly tousled, smelling of Bay Rum and gin.

C'mon you guys, you can't be serious. Just as there are some places and situations where a kilt is not an appropriate apparel choice (working in a foundry, golfing at Troon?) there are going to be places and situations where this jacket would be spectacular.

Reading between the lines through these threads and over years the sense I get is that the majority here regard those that wear only bifurcated garments as sheeple; timid, conformist, certainly less then the manly men who don tartan and boldly go. It can't be that black and white though.

Like artificer said upthread, I would wear this with my skinny jeans 'n braces, black and white Doc Martens spectator brogues, white shirt with black skinny tie, RayBan clubmasters and my best porkpie and I think I'd be the belle of the ball at a Specials reunion concert.

Yup, ditto!

... What's wrong with wearing stripes with plaid?!

My friend offered (threatened?) to buy it for me for Christmas, until he saw the price tag

Wait, I propose THESE pants from Orvis to go with the jacket---hey, Orvis provides one stop shopping...
