total world domination- and the jacket for it

[fluter]

Hee hee. The mulberry Argyll (in a possibly nicer version) is already on the wish list. The hose are covered, but it's good to have options since pirkles can be difficult to match.

As to the sporran, I've never liked that particular Acrylibeast hybrid; but I'm in your debt for the experience.

All right, MacLowlife, I can see that you are going to take over here. Thankfully, I've been able to stop pestering the kilt makers since converting my Stillwater to a traditional kilt. I can crawl back into the woodwork and rest.

By the way, I suggest going with a black PC, but using a dark red five or six button, high throated waistcoat and a jabot, rather than a red PC.

Ah yes - Rex and the amazing technicolor PC.

[MacLowlife]

You know these flash in the pan types- one day it's red PCs, the next it's just red ink... A generous member has put me in the know for a MTM one stateside. I just need to collect enough bottles and cans.

I do like the suggestions of a red dress mess and/ or a red vest with a black PC. I will probably try both whilst waiting on the Big Red. I think it will be grand. Since I never did spring for a bespoke kilt, I can almost justify the excellent price for this jacket. Do you reckon we could get it considered for inclusion under my vision care plan? I am getting red to match my eyes.

I haven't run across any Huntsman red/ scarlet / pink coats. I HAVE seen a B Wetherill one on eBay and it cost about what my car is worth. There is a Moss Bros one listed now ( I know- a far cry from the other guys, but it is 40-50 years old. ) Unfortunately, it is not big enough for the MacLowlife equator...

When I rule the world, the kilted will live tax free. Anyone wearing the X Marks tartan will be given even greater privileges and those who wear full mask sporrans will enjoy the well-deserved praise of a grateful populace...

But don't hold your breath- these MTM jobs take at least 6 weeks.

Oh and Happy Halloween

It's all yours, MacLowlife!!

If you can keep it...

Hoo Ha Ha Ha Ha

MacLowlife, rather than a polyester Eton jacket, I suggest a wool Spencer Waist Coat from World Wide Tuxedos.

[MacLowlife]

If WWT ( love the name, by the way,) had a RED or even burgundy Spencer waist coat, I would be all over that like white on rice, once again, getting MOST of what I want for a lot less money. Better in my case to go with the MTM PC for a few dollars more. WWT does have an interesting vast/ waistcoat on sale, in what looks to be the gilded MacGregor tartan:

Several others they show might actually be useful

Be sure to scroll down- and note the US usage of Waistcoat to be a short jacket and Vest to be a sleeveless garment, known in other lands as a waistcoat or gilet.

A portion of your purchase goes to underwrite my campaign... I wish.

Oi, Back to the fread 'ere.

Thanks, Santa, put another way, WHY ANY COLOR BESIDES RED? EVER?
