In the kilt accessories section, I commented on how nice a camel hair argyle jacket would look. Unfortunately, those are really expensive. Instead, I have found an old wool jacket that my grandfather owned. The great thing about my grandfather's old clothing was that 1) it was (and still is) really stylish, and 2) I'm the only one in our whole family that it fits. So all of his old clothes are now mine.

Anyway, jacket. What would you think about a black, white, and tan wool jacket in houndstooth (that Lowland pattern!)? I know argyle jackets are normally solid colored, but this is a really nice jacket that would make for an easy conversion. Should I do it? Would the houndstooth pattern clash with the tartan? Should I save this jacket and look for another tweed? If I found a kilt in this style, it would make for an amazing suit (think Matt Newsome amazing), but all I have is the jacket.

Advice is requested....photos of the jacket will be posted tomorrow.
