PC critique wanted

**Kilted KT** · 18th October 06, 09:29 PM

ok, so I got my PC in, and the jacket seems a bit big about the belly. it is a 46 long. If I cross my arms, the from parts of the jacket overlaps quite a bit ( five inches or so overlap)

Can I get some input as to what needs adjusting?

here is a pic:

oh, I know a a belt is not normally worn with a PC, but I'd much rather have the belt. and yes, I know it is off-center. The pic I took with it centered was blurry.

I think it looks great. If you're really concerned that it's too big around, you could always gain weight. That's what I did!

Despite what the purists say - I'm with you on the belt. I just don't feel dressed without it.

Jacket looks perfect to me...really!

Some will disagree, but I think black hose will look great with the saffron kilt (like the "saffron" piper)....off white is generally accepted as "the" dress hose, so do what you like best yourself.

And yes...the belt...without would be better I guess, but it's not a big deal, you like it better with the belt, so keep it

I think you look great...just don't control the traffic when you wear such a jacket...they always look best when you stand like you do on the picture.

Awesome outfit...classy!

oh, I did manage to cause quite a stir. at the event I wore this too ( at a casino) a male guard approached at the end of the night to ask the question. I asked him "Who put you up to asking?" he replied "Every woman on the floor".

I guess no one else thought it was too big either. The manager on the floor at the time was there when this happened. I told her she needed to put all the guys in kilts to get a huge increase in female traffic.

she agreed.

Looks fine to me. I really like the look of the saffron kilt with the black jacket.

Yes, that Saffron looks great with the PC! I'm a no-belt-with-PC guy myself, but that looks fine...

I think it looks great, though I can see where it is a little wide at the waist, but never-the-less it looks damn good. I want one!

**Kilted KT** · 19th October 06, 03:56 PM

thanks for the input guys!

AS for the alterations, I'm going to have a tailor who works at a men's formal clothing store. Most tailors around here that I have used cut corners.

I'll also try the lower sock bit, as My sister-in-law's wedding is this weekend and I'll be wearing the same outfit again.

thanks a ton everyone!

I think it looks sharp! I second (third?) the black socks with saffron flashes suggestion. Just a strange thought....what about a saffron bow tie?

I'd wear the belt with the PC - unless also wearing a waistcoat.

The belt buckle does odd things to the front of the waistcoast, so...

No belt with a waistcoat. Otherwise, belt.
