I know it can be tempting to wear a regular sport coat until you can obtain a proper kilt jacket, but every time I have seen someone doing this, I couldn't help but think how much better he would have looked without the jacket. In place of a jacket try wearing a waistcoat, or a pullover sweater, and you'll look ten times better!

In the meantime, keep your eye out on Ebay for a second hand kilt jacket in your size, or start saving your pennies to get a tailor made one for you, and you won't regret it!
