Jackets by J Higgins??

<< I mean the interior stiffening of the garment >>

Your question has exceeded my ability to answer, though I would hazard to guess the construction of the Higgins Argyll jacket likely lies between the two extremes you described.

Okay, so I finally got around to picking up my dry cleaning, getting all my kilt stuff together, getting all dressed up, and convincing my wife to take the pictures. Here are the pics of my two Higgins jackets and waistcoats, one in black barathea and one in charcoal tweed, both fabrics from scotland but tailored here in the states. Now my only problem is I can't seem to get my photos to import to the post using the "insert photo" button. Help??

Got help on another post and am now an expert at including photos in my posts (okay, at least I did it once successfully).

And now the Higgins Black Barathea Argyll waistcoat

pardon the stooped shoulder---I broke my clavicle into 4 pieces 12 years ago and it never healed quite right, so i am a wee bit lopsided in the shoulders.

It looks good, but tell me - would that be the Clanranald tartan I see?

Ancient Clan MacDonald. Foster/Forrester clan is a sept of MacDonald (Douglas too in some folks books) but I preferred the ancient colors to the modern. Put my two month old son in a modern Macdonald though. Will post that somewhere soon.

Ancient Clan MacDonald. .

that tartan is lovely. You pull off a great look with the jackets.

Oh, and thanks to whoever rotated the two pictures so they are right side up. Felt like I was listing to starboard all day. Better now.
