    Tweed vest from USAK

    I had some money burning a hole in my pocket and really wanted a GOOD tweed vest.

    I knew Rocky carried them but I wanted a vest with lapels, which is much harder to find. Then there is pic of Roky, wearing a vest with lapels! I contacted him and found out they could be special ordered.

    Went to the store (it is truly dangerous living only one hour from USA Kilts) and got measured. Eight weeks later I was holding possibly the most well-made piece of clothing I have ever owned (with the exception of one of Rocky' wool kilts.) The vest fit perfectly, and is a nice dark charcoal so it goes with everything. I wore it to a play/reception that evening, to a program at the local historical society later that week and to a Barleyjuice show a week later and received a ridiculous amount of compliments on the vest. (How versatile can you get?)

    When I consider that it was less than half the price I would pay for a off-the-rack vest from Orvis, et all, and it fits better, looks better, and will most likely be my favorite piece of clothing for years to come, I cannot be happier.

    Many thanks to Rocky for making this happen!
