    Okay....what you might try....this is a possibility, not a certainty....is checking out an H&M or, if there's one in San Francisco, a TopShop. Reason why is that they both seem to carry jackets that are cut more like a kilt jacket and less like what we commonly refer to here as a "Saxon" jacket. A lot depends on your sense of style, your build (if you're average to slim, you're in business as they don't seem to carry jacket sizes larger than maybe 46) and what they have on hand. Note that H&M is cheaper, TopShop is pricier. A quick look at their respective websites will show what I'm talkin' about...some jackets are cut with the hem shorter than the sleeves...approximating the kilt jacket look and I know that they really aren't proper kilt jackets but sometimes you'll find something that works. Since it's a museum thing AND in SF, I figger you have some leeway and might go with a more contemporary/less tweedy-trad look.
