What say the rabble about the "Iona" jacket? They seem to be geared towards a contemporary look with a traditionally styled kilt. Cadet collar (also called mandarin, Mao, Nehru, or "collarless"), buttons the same colour as the jacket, simple style, kilt cut, etc. Does anyone own one? Like or dislike? Level of formality and suitable occasions to wear one?

They are available made to measure from MacKenzie Frain, off the rack fromKeith Scott, or both from The Kilt Centre.

These photos all show the infamous ruche cravat but one could just as easily wear a regular tie. What about wearing an Iona jacket with a shirt that has the same type of collar?




Mattatacat was asking about a jacket with this type of collar in the accessories forum. I posted these images there as well but thought I'd open it up to a wider discussion here in the general kilt talk section.
