Gads, R2! Glad you posted the pix! I thought it was a jacket knitted like the argyle socks!! Lol, what's a "Yank" to know?
It's a Scottish thing about which I know nothing but Google came to my rescue. They are, I guess, made of wool so you could knit one but I guess you'd have to use very thin needles....
R2 asked "Do they look like this?"
Answer: Somewhat. The first picture ( black jacket with silver buttons ) is of a style called Prince Charlie. It includes a waistcoat and does not have the gauntlet cuffs of the argyll jacket.

Lol, R2! Thanks!
I remember from my childhood somewhere in Australasia a fad for ladies underwear (careful, I was only 9) called Witches' britches - these were a bit like cycling shorts and were coloured red with black trim round the legs - hmmm, strange they haven't made a comeback!

Gee R2 - can I see a pic? I have no clue what you are talking about.
Then again, if you were 9, I wasnt even born, so there is no wonder I am cluesless...my Mum might have a pair, maybe I can start a new trend

He posted once. Look up just past Jake's laugh...I just checked his post count and it is a couple of hundred more since a day ago.
Rick's actual post count has gone up? Cool, I am glad he is having a chat
Oh, hundreds!
Maybe he is in a very chatty mode, that happens apparently.
Obviously, *my* new since last visit isnt bloody well working, as half of the new stuff isnt on my list. No wonder I never get to chat

New since last just started working again about an hour ago. 
New since it broke doesn't though.
