    First, congratulations to your wife. If you don't have one ( which I think we can see you don't) a black or dark blue argyll is an excellent jacket to have, particularly if you are only going to have one. The world is filled with navy coats that can be cut down- this is likely to be the cheapest way to go. If your budget runs a little bigger and you don't HAVE to make one jacket do everything, a charcoal tweed would really look good with your tartan.

    My guess is this size 40 S will be too small, but it's a great price:

    Thanks for the advise all. yes a 40S is too small especially for a guy named ChubRock. More of a 52-54r kind of fella.

    I'm not one to give fashion advice, but here is a picture of my wife and me at a recent wedding. I do not own a jacket of any kind, so I opted for just a waistcoat. Bear in mind that I was the only person there kilted and some guests were even wearing jeans.
