I cant find the thread, I think Arrogcow started a few weeks ago. Anyway, on the subject of inexpensive kilt jacket for a dressy but casual environment, Sportkilt is planning on making an entry.

I was talking to one of their guys today at the LA Irish Fair and asked about it, as they had a coat on one of their mannequins. They are still waiting to get some silk material for the linings, but they plan on having some low priced casual kilt cut jackets soon.
