    Glengarry Hats has new doublets

    So I was on glengarryhats.com this morning, and out of curiosity, I check out the pipers doublets. I've been to the page before, but they've recently added two new products that...ummm...caught my attention.

    Presenting the leather and nylon piper doublets:










    Not in a million years would I believe in a leather doublet. C'mon! Wool doublets are hot and uncomfortable enough. Who would ever wear a LEATHER doublet?!?!

    Wow...that is quite a find there.
    I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not only as a target but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature's ways of fang and claw or exposure and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow. - Fred Bear

    I'll agree that it would probably be unbearably hot to wear, but it does look sharp. Just the right accessory for that less than honorable Highlander.

    That first doublet is actually quite striking and neat looking.

    I imagine a pipe band clad in them with leather glengarries, and kilts lin a tartan like Highland Granite would be very imposing looking.

    They would have to learn to play John Williams' Imperial March though.

    Cheers

    I was thinking a tartan of black, orange, and white...
