Introducing - The Tweed Kilt Cut Sport Coat

[The Wizard of BC]

I would like to introduce our newest Kilt Jacket. This is a Brown Donegal Tweed.

Here is a front view.



And a rear view.



This shot shows the full lining of this jacket.



Here is a detail shot of the breast pocket.



And a detail shot of the sleeve and lower pocket.
All the pockets are fully functional.



We should have the Gray version done in a couple of days.

I do like, will you be showing all availiable fabric samples on your website? When do you expect they will be available?

[pdcorlis]

Really beautiful Steve - a wonderful modern twist on a classic!

[Finn]

Beautiful jacket!

[Luckey]

Oh great, so where am I supposed to find the money for this?

[Tattoo Bradley]

Absolutely gorgeous!! I LOVE the elbow patches.

[Mr. MacDougall]

I LOVE the elbow patches.

I concur. I can just picture this in a nice Harris tweed... I'd look like the absent-minded professor. Hmm... where'd I put my pipe...?

That's awesome Steve! Can it be done with one or two buttons on the front instead of the three?

Here is what we have been thinking about these jackets.

1. The cost of the jacket will be in the $300.00cdn range but as most of that is in the labor and there are so many people asking about fabrics other than Donegal Tweed we think it only fair to say that the labor is a set price plus the cost of the fabric of your choice.
Just as we do with our Tartan Kilts it allows each one to request their favorite fabric and we will order it when you order your jacket.

2. The jackets will be offered in a stock size range. ie S, M, L, XL, Hagrid. Then you will be able to specify short, med and long. You will be able to request 1, 2, or 3 buttons from a stock selection similar to what we do with our Cargo and Casual Model Kilts.

3. We will not be offering these as a totally custom jacket. There will be options as above, but some people will be disappointed. Remember, we are a small shop and our first job is kilts. There is no way we can do totally custom made jackets too.

4. I am having trouble with my web site as many of you have noticed. I just dropped a couple of grand and the site doesn't work. So I'm out the money and it seems I will need to start from scratch. Until we have the site up and running again the jackets will be available only through phone or e-mail.

5. Please don't expect us to be ready to accept orders for at least a month. There is still a lot of pattern work still to do. The three jackets we have so far are all one size. There are still four more sizes to work out.

6. I'm glad everyone likes the jacket. I tried, as I did with the Kilt Shirt, to create something that no one else offers. I tried to create something that I would want to wear, everyday, that was not a costume. Just think how many threads there have been asking for just this style of jacket. And I wanted something of very high quality. I'm really proud with how well they turned out.

7. I'll post pictures of the Gray jacket in about three or four days.
