Not sure about it

[Richrail]

Well done, I really like the look.

[Jack Daw]

Looks good to me!

I think it's wonderful. I've long wanted a jacket like that.

I like the whole outfit, the hose and the shoes and all. Looks like an outfit one might see The Duke Of Rothesay wearing (even that tartan!)

What my mind's eye sees to complete that kit is a lovely Artificer MOD sporran in brown and perhaps a regimental/school stripe necktie.

The more I look at it the more I like it. Just add the sporran and flashes and you are all set to go. not sure about turning the kilt, it does not look as if the front apron is symmetrical about the red stripe.

[Mikilt]

Thanks to all.

I just threw the kilt on for the sake of getting a pic with the jacket, so I didn't center my kilt or throw on a sporran or ensure that my hose are the same height.

Thanks for the feedback on the jacket and vest. It's growing on me.

Looks great. Be proud of that.

[Farmer Jones]

This looks just fine on you. I do confess to a slight prejudice about the 3 button style jacket, and concur with Jock Scot's comment about it.

Farmer Jones and Jock,
I see what you mean about the three buttons. I had the tailor draft a pattern using another kilt jacket that was a 3 button sort.

[Bruce Scott]

Three, or more, button jackets seem to have been de riguer in Victorian times.

Your jacket looks great!

Yes indeed jackets (both Highland and Saxon) buttoned higher then, with correspondingly shorter lapels.

Like this



Perhaps the shortest lapels/highest buttoning jacket I have in my collection



I really like the cut of this "day" jacket and waistcoat (which has lapels as was mentioned above)



Here's a 'saxon' length jacket worn with the kilt, with the nice short Victorian lapels
