Re: Jacket ideas, traditional, modern, or something else?
MacLowlife,
LoL...I'm a 58r and about as big as I'm likely to be...ever. But I shall keep that in mind. At the prices they are charging even if the garment is low quality it will let me see if the concept works. If it does then that jacket can become a pattern for something of better quality and if it is decent quality perhaps I've found my bespoke jacket source.
For day wear, in the USA, I'm thinking corduroy instead of tweed. I'm a hot natured person, been living in Colorado for 14 years and still don't own a winter coat. All those years in Submarines in the Navy north of the Arctic Circle probably desensitized me to cold.
My tank won't be done until early summer so I have a lot of time to sort it out. I am thinking of doing a "one kilt ten modern looks" like Panache and McMurdo have done in the traditional forum. And while my tank will be a traditional kilt, I am thinking in terms of a more modern look daily and a more American look without being sloppy [if that makes sense].
Thanks for the replies.
Rondo
