Indeed!

I actually have made a few inquiries about having a formal "Rathdown" jacket made (i.e., the Argyll jacket with a velvet collar, silk lapels, and silk cuffs that our own MacMillan of Rathdown so often recommends). If I get thumbs up from any of the firms that I have contacted, this jacket will probably be put on hold for a short while.

I can't get everything at once or "she who wears the pants" will start digging into the finances and I'll be found out!
