    Why not AA?

    I wear replica Civil War and War 2 jackets with kilts. They work for me.

    The cut in the front will show the sporran that's for sure. I do think it may be a bit too dated looking, but if it can be modernized it may look very cool.

    Does anyone else think the model looks like Elton John gone through a time machine?

    Dated? ....I sort of thought that it looked very much like some of the jackets that the Beatles wore in the early sixties. Open a couple of buttons and maybe a jabbot and you'd look like Austin Powers kilted...yeah, baby!

    From the same company, here's another short jacket that goes well with a kilt (and especially a great kilt!):

    Are you sure the length of those jackets will work with a kilt? Most kilt jackets that I've seen have a body that is shorter than the sleeves, usually by about 1½ or 2 inches. It's hard to tell, but it looks like the jacket bodies pictured - both mentioned above - are about the same length as the sleeves.

    Thank you,

    Nah, there's something missing...maybe a pair of rediculous sunglasses would do the trick..
