Well done,
That's very diplomatic of you, Kyle.

Let me be a bit less than diplomatic (everyone here knows that I like to call a spade a spade!).

Colin, I'm sorry, but your new jacket looks exactly like what it is. A saxon jacket worn with a kilt. A kilt jacket would look so much better. Taking into account a students budget (or a poor man's budget, like mine) it is possible to get exactly the right items for exactly the right price but it takes a lot of time and energy (also a bit of fortitude/courage to resist the many compromises possible). Unfortunately, you gave in to a compomise and a compromise is rarely the right solution. Sorry, again.
