@Giles - which size bag is that? Have been looking at the brand as I need a day sack for travel/work/laptop.

@Kasi - thanks. I am a bit short so may go for 42

@Kasi - what these like? Do they seem like they are 20oz? Sizing (42) makes it seem like they are huge

@Tago-Mago that’s the badger - thanks!

@Alex - did I imagine this but did you suggest that there may a new IH pea coat in the works? Can’t find the message when you may have said it so I am now thinking I may have dreamt it? I I did not imagine it, any updates, ETA, etc??

Sorry premature send.

Also if you go to Inverness, try https://www.themaltroom.co.uk/.

If you are into whiskey/real ale/traditional Scottish drinking in Glasgow: https://www.bonaccordpub.com/

If Edinburgh: https://www.thebowbar.co.uk/. There is also the Oxford Bar which is famous from the Inspector Rebus books by Ian Rankin.

@Mizmazzle I live between Glasgow and Edinburgh. Do both. If you have a car, a trip to Moffat to see Steve (Simmons Bilt) is well worth it. If you want the true Highland experience, go up the A9 to Inverness and the world is your oyster. Would suggest a meet up but I would be in Nashville at the time you are in Scotland.

@Luijim78 - sorry to hear about your travails. Hope everyone recovers soon.

Ah shucks. I missed out on the tag 31. Pity. Perhaps next time.

@SamD - great idea: although I am in Scotland I get to London quite a bit. Defo interested.

@jerkules - thanks. I will probably go for the 31 then

@Daniel-San - thanks mate. They look great.

@Daniel-San - how did these work out? Am tempted but grateful for advice about stretch, etc

@Alex @AdamJ - McCoys look canny as do Merz. Not seen Samurai. Probably want something quite heavyweight, black but slim legged (although that may be difficult)

@Alex - that’s what I thought. Any other thoughts?

And to everyone else: given that my IH sweatpants are too big, any recommendations out there for a decent pair of heavyweight sweatpants in black? Prefer relatively slim leg (if possible)

Rather like asking which is your favourite child.

@Alex - and my wardrobe will be complete.

@Alex - we are in violent agreement. But even with subjectivity comes an element of ‘really’?
