Flashes? We don't need no flashes!
It's CASUAL!
Actually it is because I didn't remember to bring any flashes that color coordinated with the rest of the outfit. I wear flashes so seldom that I didn't even think of them.
I am wearing garters (well, ok, elastic with velcro) but flashes are again too formal for the look I'm trying for.

I wear the kilt because: Swish + Swagger = Swoon.

Steve,
If I may humbly ask, since when are flashes considered formal attire? I (and most others, I would suggest) wear flashes for casual and formal wear, and everything in between.
I'm not saying there is anything wrong with not wearing flashes. You are certainly free to not wear them if you like, and I think that looks just fine for less dressy occasions. However, flashes are not, in themselves, considered formal and there would be nothing amiss were you to choose to wear them as part of a more casual kilt outfit.
By the way, nice jacket. :-) To keep the thread on topic, you say the cost is $300 (Canadian) plus the cost of fabric. Dealing in fine Scottish woolens myself, I know that the cost of fabric can potentially add quite a bit. So, understanding that the cost will vary depending upon the fabric chosen, what's a reasonable bottom line price a customer could expect? Let's say he wants the cord? What would the total cost be?
Question two: would you be willing to work with customer supplied cloth?
Question three: As these are not "made to measure" per se but stock sizes, are you willing to take exchanges if the first order doesn't fit properly? For instance, I usually wear a 44, but from some companies, their 46 fits me better. So would I order a L and risk it being too small? Or order an XL and risk it being too large? Hmmm....?
Question four: Please tell me the elbow patches are optional....? Yes?
Aye,
Matt
