    Thumbs up I got a box!

    Good day all,

    Got home from errands today and found a box in the breezeway. Surprise it was my argyle and waistcoat.

    Rocky packed it up nice -



    Take into account that it needs to head to the cleaners for some TLC -





    Compared it to my PC from Sport Kilt and they aren't in the same league. Granted the cost difference is enough to warrant it. The fabric is much heavier, even the lining material is thicker and even patterned showing it just wasn't left over.

    All this is secondary to the service from Rocky. He spent a couple calls working with me on it to make sure it was fitted as well as off the rack can be. I will probably have the waistcoat tailored a little (very little) but I don't think that any other sizes would have been a better fit.

    All the pockets are real so I will need to get a pocket square or two plus a new pocket watch. I know I will be second only to the lady whose arm I will grace.

    Thanks Rocky,
    Jim

    Before you take it to the cleaners, try hanging it in the bathroom and run the shower on hot for 20 minutes or so... If that doesn't help, try using the steam from a steam iron (steam it from the inside) to let the wrinkles relax.

    AND we want pics of you WEARING the jacket and vest.

    Lastly, wear it in good health.

    Jim,

    Congratulations! How exciting. Good luck with the "freshening" process.

    As has been written, they will look a lot better with you in them.

    Thanks all. Got the jacket in the shower now.

    As for wearing it, got to find an excuse to dress up.
