    New York Knights Jacket with Wonderboy Patch

    I've been lusting after this jacket from Ebbets Field Flannels for many years...finally ordered it and am MOST PLEASED. Top quality, goes well with my kilts.



    Out on a short stroll along a tourist path this morning, working out the kinks from three days of sitting.



    The backside. Yes, those are real leather sleeves.



    And, the famous Wonderboy patch. No one's called me Roy Hobbs yet - but bet it happens ere long.

    Kilt is my Macdonald of the Isles Weathered Hunting 16 ounce Strome from Lochcarron, hand sewn by Kathy Lare.

    I think The Natural is a great movie. Good job finding something unique to go with the kilt.

    The jacket is nice, but what caught my eye was the kilt. I love that tartan!

    Me too - does that huge 9" sett make my butt look smaller?

    My favorite - Lewis Kilt Hose. Got them from Scottish Tartans Museum. Think Dunadd Trading Company carries them too.

    I have some of the Rannoch from the gift shop ordered. It doesn't look like they offer the Lewis any longer in brown.

    That's weird...they're not there anymore - no clue what the house of Chevrolet is - they used to just be Lewis Kilt hose and came in a LOT of colors...glad I got mine. Even the link at Dunadd just sits there when I click it, no colors shown or listed...

    The Ol' Coyote is afoot again...

    For some reason the Lewis people never made a tan but they had two shades of brown - I got both. Really starting to hate vendors that only sell to the center of the bell curve...maybe someone knows another vendor that stocks them... I don't think the mill sells direct - but they did drop ship a large order to me after I ordered through STM. Can't hurt to ask.
