ebay jacket heads up for the macleods

**madmacs** · 14th January 12, 03:57 PM

I wouldnt normally post a link to a live auction (unless it's a buy it now), but the number of interested buyers on here is likely to be fairly small I imagine, and it has no bids currently...

Well i was going to say you wouldnt catch me anywhere near loud macleod, but that's probably more to do with the ex wife having a suit made of it rather than the tartan itself... Macleods do seem rather proud of it though...

I did notice an edwardian doublet on there too, suspect it might have silver buttons on too...

Wow.... just wow.

Hideous as that sounds, I'd love a pic of that.

I bet this is an example of a jacket that looks much better worn, than on the hanger. I could see this on a gentleman in a kilt in the same tartan, and perhaps yellow and black diced hose, with red garters, looking rather smashing for evening wear. And a red three-button waistcoat! Don't knock it, guys. It's my size, and if I were a MacLeod I'd be very much tempted.

I know this is going off topic, but how does one measure for a jacket?

Also, NH, I haven't seen any DIY stuff from you lately. What gives?

Were I a MacLeod I would be rocking that thing ASAP. However, I am not a MacLeod.

US jacket sizes are chest circumfrence in inches, then either short/ medium-regular / or long/tall.

I have ready here many times that UK sizing is the same only the fit is much closer so an American who wears say a 42R ought to be looking at Brit sizes 43-44R.

nice find OP
