Good man. I was wondering who snagged that.

Great find, and looking sharp my friend.

Oh to be a size like that!

I search my size on Ebay (50R or 50L) all the time, and a kilt jacket in that size might come up once a year.

After several months of nothing, a black Argyll in 50 has just come up, lovely, from a great Scottish maker... but it's 50 Short, useless for me.

I like the jacket and vest. I'm always looking at Ebay for stuff, too. I bought

this wee kilt pin. Also looking for another sporran, (much to my wife's chagrin), not so shiny as the one I have. As far as jackets go, I found some nice regular suitcoats (blazers) at a local thrift store. I think I'll buy one, and take it to a local seamstress, and have her alter it, make it shorter. That's about the only way I can do it, and not spend a bundle of $$. But, I really like your coat and vest....great find.

There are loads of jacket conversion threads, I used bits from several to do my own conversion on a thrift store tweed.

And as for the eBay jacket, all I ever find in my size are Pakistani PC jackets.

BTW, don't think you have to have a matching waistcoat to the jacket . Yes I have a number of jacket/ waist coat sets, but also have just as many waistcoats that contrast the colour of the jacket, same with material, I have tweed.doeskin.new wool in different weights.
