Argyll Jacket - J. Higgins or USA Kilts?

[Tattoo Bradley]

I bought my Argyll and waistcoat from Rocky (USAK.) They were made by St. Kilda. I'm absolutely thrilled with the set, couldn't be happier honestly. Not much to really review, seeing as it's your standard jacket and waistcoat. The construction is great, the size was true to size. Any specific questions on them?

To be honest I feel kind of stupid asking people to compare the two when probably there isn't anyone out there who owns one of each!

I'm guessing they're both reasonably good for off the rack jackets. The Higgins set is $65 cheaper and will definitely not incur duty when it comes across to Canada (since they're made in the good old USA). On the other hand I hear nothing but good things about Rocky and his kilts and expect that his jackets are similarly good.

I think the idea of spending $300+ on a jacket I haven't seen up close is a bit daunting. Unfortunately the ones I've seen so far in Toronto are significantly more expensive.

I believe Higgins has a pretty liberal return policy, since as you noted they make their jackets here in the USA, and they are not special ordered.

I have their Argyll Waistcoat, and have no complaints.

I came, I saw, I tried on, I came back and purchased. I love my Rocky Argyll. There is a picture of me in it under the heading My MacRae.

Thanks gents. You've confirmed that no matter which I choose I can't go wrong.
