    Donegal Tweeds were the first Tweeds I was introduced to, so they say Tweed to me more than any other. I still prefer the flecks of color and the drape of Donegal over any other Tweeds.
    I have made kilts and kilt jackets from them and they were received very well.

    When I was prototyping my Kilt Kut Suit Coats it was my intent to use Donegal. Only fabric sourcing roblems pevented that plan.

    My signature kilt photo, the one on my business cards, is one of my first Donegal Tweed jackets.

    I think any good-quality tweed would look great as a kilt jacket, or even a kilt--as Steve points out. I look forward to seeing the finished item shared here on the forum.

    The jacket in this post certainly captures a classic look.

    In my opinion, the real stunner would be a kilt suit with vest done up all in Donegal tweed! With cable knit hose, perhaps...

    A man can dream.
