"Double-duty" tweed?
I apologize in advance if this topic has come up before—the site search feature does not appear to be functioning correctly.
I recently got my first standard kilt (my only other is a great kilt) and I'm looking to start building out a simple semi-casual wardrobe.
My question is, are there any tweed jackets/waistcoats out there that can do "double-duty" with a kilt as well as with trousers? My guess is no, due to the cropped cut of a purpose-made kilt jacket to bring the waistline up above the sporran. If such an animal exists, what should I be looking for on eBay and Etsy? I'm seeing lots of Argylls and a handful of Crails and Braemars when I search for "kilt jacket," and it looks like a tweed Argyll is going to be my best bet but not suitable to wear with trousers.
I'm hoping for a somewhat more experienced opinion.
For context, I live in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States, so I'd be looking for something somewhat medium-weight that will be suitable for the majority of the year, autumn through spring. Any recommendations will be a great help.
