they happened to have an Argyll my size which an unfortunate Mr MacGregor failed to pick up (the tag was still inside).

52L(UK)

How long was the Argyll on the rack for?

I was 50R UK for years until I did some downsizing recently. 52L is scarce as hen's teeth.

Very very rarely will anything bigger than 50 show up. There was a jacket in size 64 on Ebay for a while, never seen one before or since.

About the Argyll at Ayrshire I don't know.

That's the thing about Highlandwear shops- all the ones I visited in Glasgow and Edinburgh seemed to have the same jackets from House Of Edgar (in Peat etc) and all at the same price, around 400 pounds as I recall.

The Ayrshire place was the same. But I noticed a lower rack off to one side with odds and sods, and I spied a big tweed Argyll, which fit perfectly. I was a bit scared to ask the price, and when the gent said 70 pounds I could hardly get my credit card out fast enough. The next day I wore the jacket all day at The Worlds in Glasgow Green, the weather being windy, chilly, and drizzly, except for our 5 minutes of glory in the circle.
