    Don't forget there is a sale on jackets at USAK through this Saturday, 10 January... Nice price on a PC, and "yes, you read that correctly" for a black Argyll with vest.

    I posted a review of an Argyll I bought from this very chap... here

    There are also good tips from other members on the linked thread above, on how to maximise your purchase.

    Quick Rundown but bear in mind it's an Argyll (Crail as it turns out) not a PC.

    Material quality - Good.
    Tailoring - Not great.
    Cost - Cheapest on the net at the time.
    Appearance straight out the box - Err... cheapest on the net.
    Shipping - Expensive but compensated by lower purchase price.
    Overall - Reasonable starter jacket, provides good flexibility but needs a bit of tweaking (in my opinion).

    Would I buy from this trader again? - Probably not. I think investing a bit more money in a better quality product would be advisable.

    The problem I have is, if I want one, I must have it NOW and I'm a sucker for an apparent bargin... I'm learning to pace myself as my kilted experience grows. I've tried to be fair in my summary above but all in all I was disappointed with the Jacket.

    Interesting. Generally I feel that if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.

    I'm not speaking from experience with this seller, of course.

    But... just seems suspicious. How can the price be so low?

    I think usakilts has some good prices, but they are not the tailor made ones.

    "...then it seems foolish to spend that kind of money on what my better half calls a passing obsession..."

    Are we married to the same woman?

    Odds are good

    Odds are good if She:

    Rolls her eyes and says "Oh, your wearing that"

    Explains to a friend "last year was a little rough"

    Tells your son "well your friends know he's harmless"

    Wonders aloud "Are we ever going to church normal again?"

    To every Fed-Ex, DHL, or UPS Delivery truck "What, another kilt?"

    and the peice de restaice "Oh, we hope it's just a phase"

    Mine did that a few times, refused to go out of the house with me. Now, she doesn't even KC me before going out.

    Lucky me- my wife glimpsed this thread and said to me "This had better not be a passing obsession for you! Your butt looks bad in jeans..."
