Hey, gang. I purchased this jacket (via Buckskin's coatery) with the hopes of turning it into a mess jacket.

Here it is dressed up with what I have around the house (regular shirt and tie versus tuxedo). I felt like if I had to go out right this minute, and be dressed nicely, I could fudge it enough...until I get everything as it should be.


We don't have a fireplace, so I used the next best thing...


In front of a poster we purchased at a Burns Dinner silent auction one year...we couldn't pass up the piper!
