1) size: tight, form fitting, relaxed roomy, or oversize?

I like it Fitted but if your gonna be doing anything active in the jacket, which I do find myself doing on occasion I think "off the rack" fitted is good enough.

2) cut of jacket: Argyle, Crail, Braemar, Wallace, or other?

Charcoal Tweed Wallace, plain sleeves (cause thats how it came)
Khaki Green "No. 2" (not MoD), plain sleeves (cause thats how it came)

3) waistcoat: matching the jacket, different than jacket, or no waistcoat?

I often prefer just a waistcoat rather than just the jacket. That puts me in an interesting area of formality. Something like Daywear... dressed down. Its not most folks cup a tea but I really enjoy it. So I'd wear a vest alone before I'd wear a jacket no vest. I also like sweater vests if they are short enough to suit a kilt and for me, they often do. I'm mostly in black these days.




4) colour: lovat green, bottle green, lovat blue, navy blue, charcoal, light grey, black, or other?

I'm a big fan of the Lovat green and blue, but I am usually in Black or Charcoal anymore. If I'm in a jacket its usually some form of mourning wear.

5) material: tweed, barathea, or other?

I enjoy Tweed for the day time and I like antler buttons.
For me, Metal is for the night time, but I dress on the darker and subtler end of the spectrum usually, especially in the day.


Here is one example of a common daywear outfit for me.
Good to See MacRobert in clericals and Kilt... made me think of posting this one.



Sorry, don't have a picture handy with the Jacket too. I'm still in my first 1,000 days of ordination, so I only wear black. But I like the light blue MacRobert has displayed, it looks sharp. Also I usually wear a band collar or traditional collar with the kilt and again I like the tab collar on MacR.

here is my brown leather day todo. Kind of dressy for these parts... I don't often wear this one, but I really like it... fits tight but I got some movement.



Sorry if you've seen it before.

Generally I go with red flashes, but that's all I have ever had... maybe some day I'll go for some nice garter ties, but that's perhaps off topic.

peace,
