    neither fish nor fowl (jacket mashup)

    Well just when you think you've seen everything, Ebay comes through!

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fashionable-...kAAOSwx-9W00z0

    One of the strangest kilt jackets I've seen.

    If you peruse The Highlanders Of Scotland you'll see a number of jacket styles that are no longer made. This ain't one of them.

    This looks like somebody saw photos of doublets and of Argyll jackets and tried to make a hybrid thing.

    Oh, and the middle flaps on the back are supposed to go on the INSIDE not the outside!

    Here's one of the photos from the listing

    Odd, unusual, but in overall cut... I have to say that I do not horribly mind it. I think the construction is poor, as is the choice of fabric and buttons, but if better executed and with better choice of materials... this could be a fun jacket.
