I'm posting in the Modern section because it just seems like what I'm thinking of fits into that "non traditional" category.

A while back, one of our professional piper members (and please forgive me because I can't remember the name...) found a black linen sportcoat on half.com and had it converted to a kilt jacket. His aim was to get something that would look smart and let him stay cool in the warm weather.

Question arises...why haven't any of the companies that make woollen kilt jackets thought about offering linen as an alternative?

I don't know how much difference there is in handling the fabric but they have the patterns and the expertise...it seems like there would be a market for a summer weight jacket what with all the events that take place in the warmer months. Has it just not occurred to jacket makers to venture into some summer weight jackets>

Best
