The Sheriff of Muiringham?

Pardon my levity. I have been viewing the culture wars over on the thread discussing Prince Edward's visit to Greenville, SC. I recently spotted this item on eBay and have decided it is probably too small for me:

Do not forget, the dollar is kicking the pound at the moment...

I just scored a Montrose that was described as a HIGHLAND JACKET. It came with a belt that might have easily cost more than my final bid for the whole lot. I have mine now. It is somebody else's turn.
Cordially,

David

David, as much as I like MacLowlife, that's the second doublet I've had my eye on that he's posted up on here ()

It's too small for me too,
and I want a black one, not blue.

feeling the love....

It's a bit like Gun Control. I don't need another, so I don't care what happens to yours.

I am only joking, too.

I am glad the rest of you were looking at it. Now you know who the loyal opposition is. If you see anything truly odd in a 42R, do let me know.

How about a British Victorian army officers frock coat? PM me if wealthy and interested, otherwise it will go on ebay.

If I see something in a 42R, I'll probably be bidding on it :P

And I wouldn't mind finding out more about that frock coat...

I would love to own an officers frock coat but alas, they don't make British Victorian officers in my size.

Actually...it depends on the jacket...I tend to be more of a 43-44...so I think you're safe Strings and MacLL!!

I run into the 44 range myself sometimes.

BTW: another nice jacket for the kilt is the Ike style. I'll get some pics up soon...
