uber formal on the cheap: dollar by dollar

[I M Kilted!]

Wow!

I really like the ideas! If I had known about this a week ago, I would have worn something like that for prom. Nice wool kilt navy blue hose, matching tartan flashes, matching tartan tie, white shirt with cufflinks, black sporran, black shoes, navy blue 5-button vest and Customized Eton jacket..wow! It would be great!

Now I dont need to spen $150.00 for a kilt rental, I can spend $80.00 and I get to keep all the stuff for another event!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Thanks!

Alan, fantastic advice. I've been wanting a good jacket, and now I know I can get the formal look done cheap.

Any hints on doing a tweed jacket on the cheap?

Alan has a whole thread and a link to his website on how to modify a men's jacket into a kilt jacket. It's in the kilt accessories forum. I really love tweed but new tweed kilt jackets are twice as expensive as a regular cut one. I used Alan's information and had a tailor modify a tweed jacket I already had. It cost me $85. I was happy to have a kilt jacket at less than 1/4 the price of a new one.
