    Daywear Jacket Style Question

    Are there any styles of daywear kilt jackets that are designed to not close in the front, but have a decorative two or more button closure? Worn with a waistcoat, of course.

    What I am thinking of is a jacket cut to about the length of an argyle, or the bottom of the fell on a kilt.
    The back of the jacket would be highly tailored with pleats forming the side vents and back flap.
    The front would not have a sporran cutaway, but would not be possible to close enough to interfere with the sporran.
    The intersection of the hem and lapels would be curved off somewhat like a suit jacket's, or perhaps forming a little bit of a cutaway.
    It would have regular notched lapels, and possibly three decorative buttons on either side of the closure.
    This would need to be worn with a five button waistcoat.

    Here is a jacket folded up at the hem length I am talking about, but there is no waistcoat in this picture
    * Picture Removed. *

    It would be the same fit in the shoulders and chest, but a closer fit around the waistline.

    I have this jacket already cut to length, and pinned up in the back as I have described. I like the way it fits as it is, but I don't know if it is all right that it can not be closed.

    Thank you.

    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
