wonderful Ebay kilt jacket experience

Not sure what you paid but the St Kilda site itself is having a pretty decent sale on tweed jackets with our without waistcoats ( $162US without vest and $215US with vest) plus about $20US shipping, and they usually ship surface mail so customs is not usually an issue . When I compared the website prices to their Ebay prices for the same item I discovered that the website had essentially the same prices but deducted the VAT and had cheaper shipping, making the overall deal from the website better than ebay.

No pictures yet but I wore that jacket and vest yesterday for a funeral gig. It looks great.

I looked at the St Kilda tag which came on the jacket and it calls the colour "Highland Green". It's very simliar to the colour of some "Lovat Green" hose and bonnets I've seen, while "Lovat Green" jackets tend to be rather lighter.

Thanks for that link! I did seem to overpay a bit on Ebay as it turns out.

That situation seems to be quite common when a retailer with their own site also sells on eBay. It's definitely worth comparing eBay to the home website because cutting out the middleman is usually cheaper!

That being said, sometimes I have seen retailers do blow out clearances of items on eBay that aren't listed on their sites...

Here's that new jacket in a couple combinations with my Drummond of Perth (muted) kilt. I really like the way the jacket compliments the kilt.





I don't own a "day" sporran yet! So no sporrans in the photos.

I'd like to get someone to make an 18th century style body for my 1953 MOD "Culloden" cantle, a brass 18th century looking thing.
