Argyll Jacket and Waist coat

[creagdhubh]

As an FYI, the jackets we carry (at $330 for an Argyll Jacket and 5 button Vest) are made in Scotland by a company that also makes jackets for at least 1 of the companies you mentioned above under that company's own brand name. Just because a retailer isn't based in Scotland does not mean the product is not Scottish, nor does it mean that it's cheap.

I will agree with you in principle that for the MOST part, you 'get what you pay for', however, an investigation into a product's quality / manufacturing / origin is warranted before writing it off as 'cheap'. If it is a 'made in Scotland' jacket and is a 17 oz barathea with quality tailoring, I would hardly call it cheap, even if the price is lower than some.

Cheers mate, thanks for the information. I was not too familiar with your company - I have perused the website and find that you have an excellent selection of tweeds for the jackets and waistcoats in which you discussed. I suppose my advice was based in the fact that one should really "shop around" and conduct thorough research before investing in such a substantial piece of Highland day attire (besides the kilt-obviously). I am quite pleased to see that you offer tweed jackets and waistcoats at the $300-$330 dollar range - that's brilliant! Let's just say that you have my undivided attention at the moment, as I am in the market for a new tweed jacket and matching waistcoat myself - one specifically with a window pane design. Thanks again Rocky.

Kind regards,
