Scottish-made kilt jackets under $100

My Gaelic Themes tweeds are 48R, so if it doesn't fit (but really is a 48R) we can talk at the Waukesha games

Absolutely. See you then.

Help my feeble color vision:
What 'kind' of green is it, i.e. lovat, Kelly, highland, bottle(not that I'd be able to tell the difference anyways)?

Hard for me to tell, I think it was "bottle" green.

It's a term often used in old Scottish catalogues referring to a dark green seen with hose, bonnets, and jackets. As best I can reckon bottle green isn't quite as dark as UK "archer green" (extremely dark and regularly mistaken for black).

In the USA we say "forest green".

Which reminds me of the pipe band I used to play in which wore dark green jackets.

Bands that use any colour besides black will always have trouble getting all the jackets to match, and this was no exception. Even though all the jackets were ordered from the same Scottish maker (Kirkwind) and were understood to be going to the same band, they were in a variety of colours ranging from a vivid Kelly green to near-black Archer green and everything in between.

It was like the Irish song "Forty Shades of Green".

We shall find out when it gets here sometime next week
If the size or color doesn't work out, it's not account wreckingly expensive. Fingers crossed.

Ah, so I'm not the only one! Do most tweeds "change appearance" with the light? If it turns out to be Rolling Rock beer bottle green it may be a bit dark for my taste, but again we'll see.
