Oddly enough, when I was in Edinburgh was few weeks back one of the kilt shops I visited was the Celtic Craft Centre - they were in the midst of finalising an order for a pipe band in France - in Ancient MacFarlane - my 3 y.o. recognised the tartan straight away and was very excited about it.
I also spotted another pipeband in MacFarlane Hunting many years ago at the Scottish Highland Gathering and Games in Pleasanton - no idea who they were though:
In terms of a new jacket - the tweed I like is Taransay (below) - Kilts4Less used to do one, but no longer available in my size:
But I also have this jacket from M&S which is also in the ballpark - so thinking about a conversion - there are also a few of these on ebay too - so I can easily pick up an extra to make a matching waistcoat with - might be a fun project...
In the meantime I have 2 tweeds I can use, in charcoal and sage green.
