    Seanachie, I liked the green, also, but the special deal at St. Kilda was for black, so I just went with that. If a green one ever comes along, at a great deal, then I'd snatch that up, too.

    Thanks, again, for all the great comments. I was wondering what type of fancy hose to go with. Diced? Argyle, and what color? Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks!

    I like that a lot. You're right about the rounded lines. Looks a bit like mess kit from the front. Very smart.

    Well, Argyle hose would certainly look nice. But if you want to go with diced, I recommend a red and green to match the tartan, perhaps with castellated tops. I think that would look very nice!

    Thanks, Matt. I'll probably do the red/black diced for now, but will eventually have you do the custom hose to match my tartan.

    Den, it looked good in the shop - but it looks great on you!
    It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.

    Thanks, Paul. It's all because of your efforts. I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate all the effort you put into getting this for me. And, you really didn't have to do this. You're just a great, young fellow! No doubt about that!

    I was upset to read in your post, 'Need a jacket,' that others were getting upset and snooty with you. No need for that! You have done all of us a great service so I, for one, want to THANK you for all your efforts. As stated to you before, if you make it to the States, you're ALWAYS welcome to stay with me. You can become my 3rd son.

    Best wishes, Paul!!!

    I just checked St. Kilda's site for the Holyrood (Brian Boru), and it seems like they still have these at a fantastic price. I'm not sure of what sizes they have left, though.

    For anyone still interested in purchasing a BB jacket>>>just saw them advertised on Ebay. These are St. Kilda brand. Unfortunately, not many sizes to choose from.
