Black and White Houndstooth Tweed Kilt Jacket and Waistcoat - What do you think?

[creagdhubh]

I actually have an ivory and deep grey houndstooth I've been considering having converted.

One of the things I like about the Duke's houndstooth is that it is very plain. No epaulettes, no cuffs, slash pockets.

I think if you're going with THAT much pattern you can dial back some of the extra details. If pressed to add a bit of fanciness
I'd probably go with a Mariner/Braemar cuff.

Thanks, Scott. I received my new kilt jacket and waistcoat in the Kirkton tweed shown below and I had it made up in the same fashion described above and I absolutely love it! I really need to get some photos up, and I will certainly accomplish that in due course.

I understand your point in regards to keeping the jacket simple, but I have moved away from that. I used to own three tweed kilt jackets and waistcoats, all from Kinloch Anderson, that had plain cuffs, plain pocket flaps, no epaulettes, etc. Whereas I did fancy that look and still do, I feel my tastes have changed and now, I am really keen on having the traditional gauntlet cuffs, epaultettes, scalloped pocket flaps, etc. It has kind of been a weird evolution for me I suppose, but it is what it is.



Cheers,
