Jacket Advice needed

[GMan]

I agree with Alan Graham. I have looked at the price of new ones, and the price of getting one made is very comparable. I used to get shirts made for me when I was in the business world and the cost per shirt was and still is (to me anyway) $50.00US. Yesterday I was at a department store and looked at some shirts for the cost of $70.00US. Granted this was at Nieman-Marcus (Needless Markup).

Man, all this talk about an "Ike" jacket reminded me that I am old enough to have actually worn one in ROTC back in the days of the old "Brown Shoe Army". It was a nice comfy jacket, much more comfortable than the newer green tunics they switched to in the "Black Shoe Army". Only problem was it only came in one color OD!

I third Alan on this one. You can have a jacket made up to your specifications, or find a jacket you like & have it shortened to wear with your kilt. You'll have a jacket that you can wear for many years.

Sorry, but you city folk don't realise how small this place is, I doubt whether we have a tailor in the state capable of doing a kilt jacket.

I really wish I'd bought one when I was with Freelander in Inverness!

I'm thinking Kiltstore might have something, they seem to deliver pretty fast.

North of St Andrews has some pretty good prices, my tailor likes them.

Although, I find some of their offerings on EBay cheaper than in the store.
