Nice looking suits. If I were still in the corporate game I'd purchase several.

Take care,

* On second thought, that probably isn't quite what this thread is about. *
Match the jacket, waistcoat and hose; leave the kilt as tartan; you've got a kilt suit... kind of...

I am interested since I recently got some nice 11 oz. tartan but am reluctant to have a kilt made of it, since some say only the heavier weights are worth it.
Sorry, Gilmore, I somehow missed your post earlier.
Actually, those two weights of fabric do crease rather easily and so I have to be particularly careful when 'sweeping', but they are regular suiting materials and unwanted creases do drop out of the grey pinstripe kilt - in time! The newer navy with white pinstripe suit is definitely vulnerable though, but I like it so much I am prepared to take more trouble with its care.
I have to agree with everyone who likes the latest country tweed suit - it is definitely my favourite, but then it is more suited to daily wear than the more formal pinstripes.
Thanks for your interest.
Take care,
Ham.

Gents - slightly off topic but I just posted a pic of my granddad and siblings (when he was quite young) in the pics of me gallery. Both Granddad and his older brother are wearing kilt ensembles (looks like an irish style solid colour kilt and vest jacket) that is the style of suit I would like to obtain at some point, though the 21st Century solid grey suits appeal to me.
PS. as my wife would say - great legs Hamish.
