    check out the tiny gent in the upper left hand corner of this page: http://www.highlandclans.co.uk/Kilt_..._Doublets.html

    It may be a red dress mess, but it is certainly red. When I rule the world, I will be sure to take very good care of the guys in the harlequin PCs. http://www.highlandclans.co.uk/HLI118.gif

    When I get mine, I'll be counting on you.

    At any moment you must be prepared to give up who you are today for who you could become tomorrow.

    Highland Clans is owned by the Chief of Clan MacLea/Livingstone; Niall Livingstone of Bachuil, Baron of the Bachuil, Coarb of St Moluag, Abbot of Lismore . I do know that he is a traditionalist. You could always email him at sales@highlandclans.co.uk and ask about a bespoke PC in a red material similar to the one in the corner you mention.

    Have you searched under the title "hunting pinks/pinque"? A friend of mine has a beautiful red tailcoat that he purchased from Huntsman London, it is a great variation at formal affairs. He had a lesser expensive one he purchased before the good one from Huntsman. I am not sure where he got that one.

    Another option would be Ravistailor.com a Thailand custom tailor(don't laugh). I have had one blazer cut by them several years ago and it was not Saville Row but not bad. Their quality has improved since then. The same friend as I mentioned above has had several "very custom" items made by them(Think Duke of Windsor). They have a Spencer Jacket in their formal section that I have considered having made in red, if they don't have the fabric you could send it to them. My friend sent them several yards of tartan and had a dinner suit made in tartan. The prices are not give away but incredibly inexpensive for custom. A red spencer would probably cost between $200 and $400.

    My suggestions, good luck.

    A hunting tailcoat from Huntsman...I'd hate to see the bill for that! 3,4, 5K? Pounds. Bernard Weatherill might be a better equestrian tailor, now under the name of Kilgour.

    Great coat, probably more than I would want to pay. Huntsman is known as one of the most expensive tailors on Saville Row.
