formal jackets and the cookie cutter aversion

[Bugbear]

gee Ted, I have a rusty orange(you of the right age remember the color) Levis WIDE wale corduroy blazer. As it has no lining, it ought to be easy to modify. Can you all imagine it with, well any kilt you can think of?

That sounds great, but credit where credit is due. It was all MacMillan of Rathdown's idea. He brought the concept of corduroy being good for kilt jackets to the forum; though I think James MacMillan was the first to bring it up with his black corduroy conversion thread. (Rathdown equals acceptable Highland attire.)

As far as evening wear, he suggested a black pin wale corduroy doublet in an Argyle cut with ribbed silk lapels and cuffs.

My daywear kilt jacket is a medium brown pin wale corduroy and waistcoat. There are no epaulets or Argyle cuffs. I re-tailored it from a suit that came from a family member.
