Cobourg Highland Games

It was great to wear this lovat green jacket again. I really like the stag horn buttons and the fit of this jacket.



I've been wearing this other patterned tweed one a lot lately, which i like because of the less common tweed and the lighter weight of the fabric. This one is not nearly as warm as the green one. If I can find a good deal on real stag horn buttons for the jacket and waistcoat, I'll swap these synthetic ones off. This jacket also has shorter epaulettes than most. I'm not sure why that choice was made, but I'm getting used to it.



I did have to take off the green tweed and bonnet in the afternoon because it got so hot. By contrast, The morning and the evening were very cool.

Lookin' good Nathan.

Thanks cousin! The games were great. The 78th Fraser Highlanders Pipe Band won the Grade one competition and were on fire.

You wear both jackets well, my friend, and I did not even notice your necktie attempting to escape the confines of your jacket until you went back and pointed it out to us.

Hehe - it's all I can see but the lighting is better in that pic than the other! I wish I had noticed it when they were taking the photos.

That is one advantage of wearing a waistcoat, the necktie has no chance of escape.

This is true and I generally prefer a waistcoat. Alas, the heat! Plus I have to wear my belt sometime or why own it?
