I agree with that. I'd go maybe $50 tops.

If THEY paid ME $495, I'd wear it... (And not very long at that).

I hope the Gold Bros don't get wind of this item as it will certainly within a few weeks end up on display for sale in their shops for about 40gbp, made in Pakistan with a tag stating "designed in Scotland".

Oh, the humanity! I'ts just too sad for words.

Excuse me. I am too overwrought to speak/write further.

Now that’s an original idea!

Spike Jones comes to mind. I had heretofore thought Orvis quite staid and a dealer in quality things.

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.

C'mon you guys, you can't be serious. Just as there are some places and situations where a kilt is not an appropriate apparel choice (working in a foundry, golfing at Troon?) there are going to be places and situations where this jacket would be spectacular.

Reading between the lines through these threads and over years the sense I get is that the majority here regard those that wear only bifurcated garments as sheeple; timid, conformist, certainly less then the manly men who don tartan and boldly go. It can't be that black and white though.

Like artificer said upthread, I would wear this with my skinny jeans 'n braces, black and white Doc Martens spectator brogues, white shirt with black skinny tie, RayBan clubmasters and my best porkpie and I think I'd be the belle of the ball at a Specials reunion concert.

Yup, ditto!

And just so the credit goes where due, I'd like to thank Barb T. for starting this thread and pointing me in the right direction. I have almost enough saved in my fun/discretionary clothing budget and as soon as I have another $100 I will be ordering one.

Oh yes I will. Now stand down Margaret, stand down please, stand down Margaret!
