Need to rent an Argyll jacket and vest for Burns night!

I'm in the East Bay of San Francisco, and NO ONE about seems to be able to rent me an Argyll Jacket and 5 button vest. Anyone know where I can rent one, or if I can borrow one from someone local? Buy someone's older but wearable one? I wear a 44 Regular.
Thanks!

Wm Glen - downtown SF @ Powell

I'd try Wm Glen & Son http://www.wmglenusa.com/store/mm5/
They're not that far from the Powell Bart (300 Sutter). Might be worth checking out. They're pretty nice and they've got the Whiskey Shop in the back.

I think there's also another place near Fisherman's Warf but can't remember where.

Good luck!

Wm Glenn is the only game in town. I know they rent Prince Charlies, not sure about argylls. (The place by the warf closed years ago.)

Best regards,

Jake

William,

As it happens, I have a tweed Argyll in 44R that's way too big for me. I think you might be able to find a vest that sort of matches at Target for around $20.

PM me if this will work for you and we can work out the particulars.
