Jacket bargins at Target

**Panache** · 17th January 08, 01:30 PM

Hi all,

I just got back from Target and wanted to note that those looking for a blazer or sport coat to convert into a kilt jacket might want to check out their clearance racks. I saw several coats that might do the trick (and many of them for under $20).

I purchased a wool tweed overcoat (trenchcoat style) that I think will work well with a kilt. Somehow it being tweed makes it seem a lot less flasher-like and more akin to an Inverness cloak.

I'll post a picture of the overcoat after sewing a few buttons.

Cheers

Jamie

Jamie, I'm looking forward to seeing the pics of the overcoat. I don't know if you saw my recent thread and pic. I think a tweed overcoat with a kilt is a good option. Seems to "fit," though not all agree.

Andy,

I had forgotten about reading your thread until you mentioned it. I'm sure it was the reason I stopped and took a look at them.

Here is the jacket. Not too bad for $19.88

I also posted the pictures on your thread

Cheers

Stopped at my target tonight based on this thread. While tweed jackets were on sale, sadly no long ones (or any long coats of any kind) were available.

Adam,

Sorry. They might sell much better in Cincinnati than San Jose, these were marked down 75%!

Cheers

Man, what a nice coat, Panache.

I'm headed for Target to see if there's anything LONG there.

Thanks for the heads up. I think see a trip to target in my future!

WOW!!

That may be one of the best deals I've seen in a very long time. I wonder what they have down here in So Cal.

I'll have to go and see. Well Done and it looks very nice on you.

Cheers,
