Looking good!
I have had my tailor shorten a grey herringbone tweed jacket for wearing with a kilt. Being new to this, I thought I had erred not asking him to flair the front below the bottom button to more expose the sporran, like I see in a lot of kilt jackets. I have a long torso for my 5'8" tall body, so it's not too hard to find a jacket short enough to tailor and not have to shorten the pockets. I see that you did not flair you jacket either and it looks great. I'm reconsidering my original plan to take the jacket back to the tailor after seeing this picture. I have also seen other pictures of kilt jackets without the flair, some modern, but mostly older pictures. The jacket looks good to me, but being relatively new to kilts, I'm a little insecure about doing it right. I generally don't button my jacket, so the sporran shows fine. Nobody I know knows anything about wearing kilts, so faux pas go unnoticed. Still, I like to do things right!
