[Mickydee]

I am looking to buy, borrow the Simplicity pattern #5029, mainly for the jacket pattern.

What size do you need? I have a couple but it is a really basic jacket pattern that is supposed to use fusible interfacing.

And the kilt part of the pattern is totally useless.

I’m sure more learned members will be able to tell you if the style/cut is correct for kilt wear... I have no idea.

There are plenty of links on the internet for better tailoring instructions and many local libraries have good reference books as well.

Mainelymenswear popped up here in the forum a year or two ago for help making his kilt.

He has some Fantastic information, pictures, tutorials and links/resources for Jacket making on his blog, you just need to search and read back.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Steve, I'm looking for the Large/Extra Large sizing.

Mickydee,

I have just pulled the patterns out of my bin and find that the Large/Extra Large size is the one that got the most use and some of the pieces are a bit worse for wear.
I just would not feel comfortable sending someone such a well used pattern.

I wish you luck in your search.

This is a little dated and esoteric but it might be of interest. check out document page 44 for "Types of Highland Dress."
