    When given a choice, most people will choose.

    I donno. IF the cut isn't too baggy, with mod cut trousers, docs (or B&W wing tips), shades and a pork pie hat it could be mighty stylee for the jump-up or ska party.

    There is nothing on Earth that could be worn with this to make it look good.
    Just my opinion, of course...

    I would *so* wear that!

    Not a chance I'll pay $495 for it, and I sure wouldn't wear it with a kilt, but yeah, if you buy it I'll wear it. With Levi's. To work. And shopping.

    The ad copy says: "This mens plaid sport coat takes refined style to a bold place." and "Imported of Scottish fabric."

    Someone was paid actual money to write that. Many people at Orvis had to work hard to bring this product to their customers. I can't imagine what they were thinking, or how a group comes to make the many decisions involved in this product appearing for sale.

    By the way, if you have the testicular fortitude [ovarian fortitude?, but I digress in my own aside], if you have the nerve to wear such a thing, why wouldn't you just get a nice kilt that would actually be a tasteful expression of bold style?

Hard on the piper; hard on them all; hard on the world." Butcher's Broom, by Neil Gunn, 1994 Walker & Co, NY, p. 397-8.
