Another possibly modern jacket idea

Has anyone seen a standing collar nehru type kilt cut jacket?
I think that it would have a nice clean look plus I've always liked those
style of jackets.

makes me think of "Laugh In" but that is probably just me

I'm also a fan of that collar (Nehru, mandarin, stand up, etc) and, for traditional Highland wear, it is found on the Sherrifmuir and Kenmore doublets:

FWIW: on civilian attire a standing coat collar is more often referred to as a "Cadet Collar".

I like the top one but its way too formal for any of my activities I think.

How about this one from Slanj?
Still quite formal I guess...

That's just a Sheriffmuir doublet I believe

Yes Paul, it is indeed a Sheriffmuir, which has the Cadet collar the OP is looking for, no? I posted this one because it's not quite as formal looking as the other one I posted.

How about an Iona jacket? I've been meaning to start a thread about them specifically because I don't know any history or context... here's a few pics:

CMcG,

I think the Chinese jacket has great potential- it is inexpensive, easy to alter, if necessary, and has a good collar. You can get them on eBay for little money and they are not too heavy. They also come in a variety of colors.
