total world domination- and the jacket for it

[Asser 1]

Have you searched under the title "hunting pinks/pinque"? A friend of mine has a beautiful red tailcoat that he purchased from Huntsman London, it is a great variation at formal affairs. He had a lesser expensive one he purchased before the good one from Huntsman. I am not sure where he got that one.

Another option would be Ravistailor.com a Thailand custom tailor(don't laugh). I have had one blazer cut by them several years ago and it was not Saville Row but not bad. Their quality has improved since then. The same friend as I mentioned above has had several "very custom" items made by them(Think Duke of Windsor). They have a Spencer Jacket in their formal section that I have considered having made in red, if they don't have the fabric you could send it to them. My friend sent them several yards of tartan and had a dinner suit made in tartan. The prices are not give away but incredibly inexpensive for custom. A red spencer would probably cost between $200 and $400.

My suggestions, good luck.

A hunting tailcoat from Huntsman...I'd hate to see the bill for that! 3,4, 5K? Pounds. Bernard Weatherill might be a better equestrian tailor, now under the name of Kilgour.

Great coat, probably more than I would want to pay. Huntsman is known as one of the most expensive tailors on Saville Row.

Just get a red mess dress and switch out the buttons. They can be had very cheap on Ebay.

I think a red PC is a worthy aspiration!

My own dream is a purple Sheriffmuir. I even have some fabric that might work, a sort of mulberry wool/rayon/etc blend, and just might fit the climate down here at 34 North.

My own dream is a purple Sheriffmuir.

The only thing I can imagine that harlequin jacket being worn are matches of a certain rugby team.

Here's Iain Sherwood, the owner of Cuillin Crafts, piping in a red mess dress jacket:

Iain looks smashing! That purple sporran though, yikes! I remember some older text referring to the Highlanders' affinity for purple, but I'm sure that never extended to "animals unknown to nature". LOL! Good 'un, mate!

BTW Richard, good to see you made it over here! Took me a couple of posts to make the link. I must be getting slow; probably the grey in my beard or something like that.

Alan H has posted about Eton Jackets as a cheap alternative, I believe this is a link he has posted before. Not quite a PC but would not look out of place with a kilt (waiter, what is this fly doing in my soup...).

MacLowlife if your goal is to rule the world, I'm looking for competent people for SOKS to crew my airship 'Maple Leaf'. Please submit resume, references, blood type & NOK through proper and secret channels.
P.S. Please don't tell Panache that I'm again recruiting as Saskatchewan is cold this time of year. Pudding is good as always though.

I don't know about red, but Scott Blair do these:

That multi-color, that folks are calling Harlequin, puts me very much in mind of Colin Baker's incarnation of the Doctor. Now I am once again hoping that we will finally get a kilted Doctor Who when Matt Smith decides to retire from the role.

Ah, Grant, when will you give it up? I still can't believe your men actually managed to hit Greg and miss me, when I am the much larger target. It makes me think you got their rubber chicken sporrans from a supplier in China that used some really noxious lead paint.

On the other hand, bringing up Alan's Uniformal Wearhouse find says there may be hope for you yet.

Hope you get that red PC MacLowlife. If you attain your other goal, could you grant me a couple of acres of Colorado?

Grant - did you really think that the Ensigns of the Saltire security detail would miss this post?
