2 IN 1, DETACHABLE SLEEVES

This is a Brand New Jacobean style Swordsman Jacket and Waistcoat, with a two in one feature of detachable sleeves, with can be easily zipped off or on, great for casual day occasions and going to ceilidhs, usually worn with a Jacobean Kilt Shirt.

Definately the jacket for the more relaxed look, worn as shown with the Jacobite / Ghillie shirt and a day or semi-dress sporran. Made in 100% pure wool and fully lined with two antique style buttons and button holes at the waist, each sleeve cuff also has the feature of two antique style buttons.

This jacket is suited for both non-formal occassions - Ceilidhs, birthday parties, family gatherings, etc, or for formal occassions worn with the plaid to weddings etc.
...or are these guys ( http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/KILT-JACKET-SW...742.m153.l1262) just trying to make a sale? My understanding is that the plaid is mainly worn with a PC or for white tie events, if at all. I haven't heard anywhere else that this kind of jacket paired with a plaid can be formal. With a long plaid and penanular broach, it would look like a lot of painting from the early 1700's, but those were not formal I don't think.

What say the rabble?
