A Package From Phoenixville, PA ...

[bunchdescendant]

Received my package from USA Kilts today after finding out the apartment manager had it for two days. (Grrr ...)

One each black Argyll coat and matching waistcoat along with a Lion Rampant Kilt pin! I just couldn't resist due to Rocky and Kelly's outstanding pricing on these items!

Very good quality, nicely constructed and the fit is just perfect. I had talked with Rocky via phone before ordering so my 46 regular was a perfect fit for a 45 chest, 34 sleeves (shirt size) and 40 waist.

Pictures to follow as soon as I have time to re-learn how to tie a bow tie!

BTW, has anyone purchased a bow tie at a men's store lately? Yikes! ($25)

Now to get a sporran ... (another Yikes!)

Cheers,

Ray

Good for you! Enjoy it!

I recently bought two bow ties from ebay, one black, and another with a pattern, as I could not find a self tie bow tie in any shop close to me, they tried to flog of fthe clip on type. They were a good price on ebay.

I used to have this great page clipped from an Esquire magazine the theme of which was "how to do absolutely everything"...it was a step by step photo sequence of how to tie a bow tie by US Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, a gentleman famous for wearing the bow tie. I had it permanently affixed to the mirror UNTIL my wife went on a cleaning binge and threw it out...

...obviously it was a useless piece of junk cluttering up the dresser top.

And the difference between men and women is...

well, sounds like you already got your tie, but JC Penny has a tux shirt, black tie, and the little black button embellishments for $27.

For the sporran, try one from Phoenixville, PA. I have one from Rocky that I use with the Argyle that I received from USA Kilts. Likewise the fit is perfect and the look is great.

Ray,

I suspect that the rabble will be seeing this jacket on January 17th

So fess up! Where in the Bay Area did you find a Menswear store selling real-honest-to-goodness-no-stupid-clip bow ties?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Men's Wearhouse. Newpark Mall for those in the bay area.

Whew! I feel better now. Confession made. And yes, you will be seeing it come Jan. 17th, along with a full dress sporran of some type or kind.

Either from Rocky or Matt. Not sure just yet. Both give such great service.

(edit)
The tie, in black 100% silk, was $20 USD. The Significant Other and myself went to JC Penney, Macy's and Sears only to find none had Bow Ties of any type or kind. Will have to check that on-line about Penney's as a source. The tie came with instructions that I will scan/post for all to print out.

Fantastic! I'm looking forward to seeing it.

That I'd like to see. . I have never noticed formal wear at our Penney's stores. Hmmmm, nor did I know that Warner has a line of foundation garments called "Tuxedo."

Failing locally--and believe me, I've seen some odd bow ties in shops--- I rely on beautiesltd.com (Beau Ties, get it? (groan)). Should you require a partridge in a pear tree on a bow tie, they can fix you up; but they also have the classics.
