Thanks, that's the very tie the seller threw in as part of the bargain and I like to mix a pattern shirt with a solid kilt

What a find... looks great on you, how did you locate the style of jacket i look through from time to time but only seem to locate the standard sport coats.

I find that multiple searches with different terms (including misspellings!) seems to turn up the most good hits. Sometimes a really broad search means you have to look through a lot of unrelated things but too narrow a search won't find anything. For this one I tried things like:
- tweed kilt jacket
- argyll jacket
- crail jacket
- argyll tweed
- crail tweed
- lovat jacket
- scottish jacket
- kilt jacket
- tweed kilt

It came up as "Harris Tweed Scottish Formal Highland Dress Jacket."

Also, it doesn't hurt to look on all of eBay.co.uk, eBay.ca, and eBay.com. I have been sometimes been disappointed though when I find something in the UK but it doesn't ship to North America.
