Cheap kilt jackets

I cant find the thread, I think Arrogcow started a few weeks ago. Anyway, on the subject of inexpensive kilt jacket for a dressy but casual environment, Sportkilt is planning on making an entry.

I was talking to one of their guys today at the LA Irish Fair and asked about it, as they had a coat on one of their mannequins. They are still waiting to get some silk material for the linings, but they plan on having some low priced casual kilt cut jackets soon.

That would be a welcome entry for casual dress. Was it more like a traditional jacket - cuffs or epaulets? ...or a contemporary jacket, cut short for kilt-wear?

Yaish,

Sounds like good news. Did he say what colors would be available? Any idea what the approximate price will be?

The one I saw hanging was like a stripped down PC. Some nice diamond shaped buttons, but no piped trim or anything like that. It looked basically like a kilt-cut black suit coat, with buttons similar to a PC.

He didnt really know price yet, but he didnt correct me when I mentioned the market for something around $80.00

The cheap jacekts could've been imported from Pakistan. They are not the greatest and too formal for most occasions.

I ran across this last evening:

Matt Newsome has a blog wherein he describes getting a cheap Harris Tweed sport jacket from a thrift shoppe, and having it cut down into a quasi-Day Jacket. The photos he posted looked pretty darned good.
