Tweed jacket conversion - starting point

[Panache]

Brian,

The jacket looks like a good candidate for a conversion. On the back does it have one center vent or two side ones?

My jacket had pockets just like like, don't worry about them not being patch pockets.

What you will need to do is sew those pockets shut. You then need to move the flaps up so that the bottom edge of the flap covers the sewn shut opening by a 1/2" or so. The pocket is no longer functional but now appears higher up on the jacket. This is fine since you have the inner pockets and a sporran for carrying stuff.

Cheers
