OK then - who would WEAR this??

“Once you accept the universe as being something expanding into an infinite nothing which is something, wearing stripes with plaid is easy.”

–Albert Einstein

... 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

Who would wear this?

Someone with many, many hypens in their last name.

Aye, let's make up a story of who would wear this jacket...

You've been invited to your boss's annual Christmas party (and bonus hand-out gala). The invitation requests "Celtic Dress." This is a big deal for a young hedge fund manager. No one wants to repeat Bobby Samuelson's badly-chosen Prince Charlie with white hose fiasco of two years ago. (Bobby moved on)

As fate would have it, your name is Khalid Al-Faisal - Jackie Faisal to the office. But you've not got a lick of celtic in you. Yep, you wear the Orvis Jacket with black slacks and shoes, white shirt with black bow tie, and a white keffiyeh.

When old man Forbes, kilted to the gills, comes through the door following the piper, he does a double take at your get-up. Then he laughs. Everyone laughs. Bonus secured.

It is a coat that could be worn in the right circumstance.

I think it was made to be worn with THIS kilt:

See? Perfect match!!!!

Someone jumped on a tartan gernade.....

Hilarious!

I can see a few of these on the reduced rack being bought as gag gifts. Something you pass around year after year as a rewrapped gift from one family member to another.

Only if your billed as:
Haggis, the kilted clown

Shorten that up a bit and take in the waist and I would totally wear that. Then again I'm kind of a funky dresser, I used to wear my jeans inside out when I was an experimental teen. Clothing should be fun and stylish.

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.

L.L. Bean

Brooks Brothers

Comme Des Garçons

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.

"Buffy, please do hurry now! Trey and Ginger will never forgive us if we miss the Regatta opening!"

Said without once opening his jaw.

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

Groan.

I rise from my sickbed - a tummy bug with a sense of humour befitting a Marine NCO - and at 2.30am I am suddenly face to face with - THAT.

I think I feel a relapse coming on,

Anne the Pleater :ootd:

Wait...I originally saw this post a couple days ago, and I've had a stomach flu ever since...coincidence? I think not!

Brilliant, brilliant. Now who volunteers to convert the sports coat into a bona fide kilt jacket...
