New Jacket...IT's HERE!!

[Spartan Tartan]

So here are the pictures (see, it really happened). I ordered a made to order from USAK jacket to complete my outfit...

Jacket: Charcoal argyle with gauntlet cuffs and matching waistcoat. Faux staghorn buttons.
Kilt: USAK 8 yd premium in the Michigan State University tartan (custom run of tartan) with matching flash. There are 50 mph wind gusts here today, so you can see a bit of the pleats blowing out from behind too.
Casual/day wear black leather sporran with celtic knot work and I noticed after the picture that the sporran is a bit off center, but such is life...right?
Bottle green tie and hose (yes, I know it's a bit matchy matchy, but I like it and I'll add non matching accessories over time).

I do not like to wear kilt pins (just for clarity and to preclude the "you are just missing a kilt pin" comments) and I realize that my bottom button is buttoned--the jacket and waistcoat were fresh out of the shipping box, there are still some wrinkles that need to hang out (or be ironed).

I would wear this almost ANYWHERE that didn't specify or dictate a formal dress code. In fact, I am more comfortable dressed like this than in a t-shirt and more casual outfits.

Thanks Rocky!! I couldn't be more pleased. I really appreciate your time and assistance with both my kilt and jacket orders.

Smashing outfit!

Very fine work by Rocky.

I like the overall look as it is more "muted" and not so flashy.

Well done.

That jacket fits you like a glove, eh? Congrats!

[Spartan Tartan]

Thanks.

Robert--I prefer the more subtle approach. The kilt stands out as is and I just feel more comfortable in the "less flashy" manner of dressing up.

CMcG--absolutely...like a glove. Thanks. I definitely ascribe to the theory of getting a few items that are made well and fit perfectly. They last forever if you take good care of them and look fantastic. Nothing helps the confidence like the feeling of clothing that fits exactly how it is supposed to fit.

Looks great!!

And there is nothing wrong with having the bottom waistcoat button fastened.

And Rocky has done it yet agin. Hope to get one myself in the near future.

Congrats!

Spartan Tartan: It is a splendid outfit. You look like one of those models on the Scottish-attire web pages, or like you just stepped outside from one of the day parties at Glenbogle. You know your wife's not going to let you go out alone looking like that, don't you? ;-)

The jacket and vest fit like a glove and I really like the look of the buttons. The MSU tartan looks great in a kilt. You should definitely plan to wear it on campus sometime.

It doesn't look "matchy-matchy" at all. The hose and tie create a color balance on each end. Looks great to me. Very well done.
