I just wanted to say that I recently bit the bullet/gave in to the jonesing and bought a wonderful tweed Argyll kilt jacket on Ebay.

The seller is Scottish Tartans Store.

Here it is, the photo from their listing:



They call this colour "Forest Green" though it's not at all what I would think of as Forest Green. It's a lovely mid-green herringbone tweed, a bluish green, which suits my kilts perfectly.

When the jacket came yesterday I was amazed that the fit was absolutely perfect. I'm 6'4" 16 stone and then some so it's common for jackets to not fit right. (With some I need a 46L, others a 48R, others a 48L depending on how each maker sizes its jackets.)

The sleeves are what I consider to be just the right length, somewhat longer than is shown on the model in the photo there, coming halfway between my wrist and knuckles. (That's where kilt jacket sleeves look "right" to my eye.)

It's made by St Kilda. For those that don't know, St Kilda is a fairly large company in Glasgow.

They have a kilt hire/Highland Dress/Pipe Band Outfitter shop at George Cross in Glasgow. I would drop by often during my stay in Maryhill.

They make thier own bagpipes, sporrans, kilt hose, kilts, jackets, etc.

One very nice thing about this jacket is that it's lighter in weight than the vintage tweed kilt jackets I'm used to. This weight is much better for our climate here.
