    My new PC

    A while back I picked up a PC from the Scotland Kilt Company. They were having a sale on their navy PC's for about $120 with free shipping. I just checked the website, and they're still having the sale: http://www.thescotlandkiltcompany.co.uk Anyway, I thought I'd post some pics:

    Here is the jacket and waistcoat unworn:

    From the back:

    I also got a ruche tie:

    Here I am wearing it with my Wallace and brogues:


    The PC is 15oz Barathea wool. It is a good quality garment, and it fit perfectly based on the measuring guide on the site. If you're looking for an inexpensive PC, this is the way to go.

    What a great look. Well put-together, indeed!

    The obscure we see eventually. The completely obvious, it seems, takes longer.

    I don't wish to rain on your parade here, but I can't help but think that a bow tie should be worn with your PC. In my humble old fashioned and traditional opinion,your outfit would look so much better.

    I know what you mean, and I think a bow tie looks great on some, I just don't like the look on me. Even with my tuxedo I wear a ruche or regular tie. The interesting thing is, since most people wear a bow tie with a tux, I get a lot of complements on my ties because I think more people notice them. To each their own.

    Oh yes, absolutely! Each to their own.

    Looking very smart - I love scrunchie (ruche) ties with a PC too!
