Have you done a jacket conversion in Ultrasuede, yet, MacLowlife?

I have looked at ultrasuede, but it often feels stiff- and I have seen some strange deterioration of synthetic suede over time. I think moleskin is more reliable, if not quite as soft. IMHO, the very best would be goat suede, which turns up now and then.

I have a Harris Tweed conversion that was done by some previous owner and a rusty colored linen one that was done for me. The linen one goes well with tartans that don't have any red in them. It doesn't have any vents at all and is minimally constructed otherwise- with some inner facing in the lapels and none elsewhere. It has open patch pockets.In the SC heat, it is just the thing.

Tobus, I look forward to hearing your results. The jacket looks to me to be midway between a "regular" Saxon jacket that covers the posterior and a kilt cut Argyll, but all I have to go on is the length of the sleeves for reference.
