Searching for leather jackets I found San Diego Leather and their police jackets - they seemed perfect for kiltwear too. I ordered their G-1 Police jacket, without badgeholder, in brown cowhide, ON SALE! Most pleased with all the features that make it comfy for working police officers also make it comfy for civilian wear. Lots of BIG pockets - really don't need a sporran with it. The two big outside pockets you see, handwarmer pockets behind them, and two big inside pockets. I also ordered a zip out Thinsulate liner - I'm sold on Thinsulate from other jackets. Gives me a longer season of wear.

The jacket still has that new look, but I think it goes well with a kilt. As much as I like it I'm guessing it'll be well broken in soon.



Leatherneck tartan kilt, 13 ounce from Strathmore Mills, hand sewn by Kathy Lare back in 2007. That's my brown Freelander sporran.



Backside shows why its so comfy with the biswing back and underarm gussets for freedom of movement.

I'm most pleased with all the options San Diego Leather offers - many other styles of short jackets too. Probably not a good idea to go to their website and browse - you're liable to wind up buying a jacket. www.leather.com No jones time - they ship right away. And, its made in the U.S.A.
