All dressed up

[Moosehead]

Add a few extra buttons, including 2 with chains for closure (much looser), satin or silk facings on the lapels and you'd have an excellent formal jacket.

Nice look. Did you modify the jacket yourself?

Nice piccie, who is it? not Bubba - surely, he doesn't dress like that, so tell us - who is it?

wot a smart lad, to be sure!

Mowgli, yup, I modified it myself. I found the jacket at St Vincent de Paul. It had patch type pockets which were easily removed and it was just a matter of removing the pockets, shortenng the thing and making the cutaway.

Hamish, once I get a waistcoat I probably will wear it unbuttoned, but to my eye it didn't look right unbuttoned with just the shirt and tie. It really isn't tight at all though. As for the tartan, I've seen this one listed by several makers as Hamilton Red, Rocky just lists it as Hamilton.

Looking good!

[John M.]

Not bad at all.

Bubba,

You look great, especially since you had a place to go all dressed up.

[NewKilt]

Very nice. I would agree that the jacket might look a bit better if it were unbuttoned.

Bubba,

Just a quick one to say you look really nice. Another tartan for me to think about. Keep it up! ::-):

Great look, but wear it unbuttoned. I had the same problem with my Argyll jacket. Being a long time business suit wearer, I naturally want to button thr top button on a suit jacket. However, resist the urge and everything will look great.
