    A new jones...

    Just ordered my first Tweed Argyll jacket and vest. Highland Green from buyakilt.com. I was able to chat with Rachel online and as always very helpful and nice to deal with.

    Having had a peak at your stable of tartan, hose, ties, etc. for a few years, I'm glad you will be getting a green tweed to compliment your wardrobe. I hope your dear wife got a party favor of her own. If not, jewelry is always in vogue.

    I received my new jacket and vest in the Highland Green tweed, it is beautiful. But I will have to have some alterations. From reading here and some other places before ordering, saying to get the next size larger I must say that is not true for me. I should have ordered my normal U.S. size. Thankfully it is still summer a 90F+ so I have plenty of time before it starts to cool off.

    I've had the exact same problems. I'm a 40L, every time I've listened to reviewers stating order a size larger for a jacket it's tool large and looks sloppy. For me anyway being a tall thin guy, the euro and us sizes seem to fit me the same.
