thanks for all of the advise guys...
I know the sleeves on the jacket are too long. Unfortunately, I'm 5'4" and they just don't make jackets in my size. I am however going to get the sleeves shortened. As for shortening the jacket, I'm afraid I can't do it. Due to my job and where I am in my career (at the ripe old age of 28) I'm relegated to part time Kilting, I use my suit jackets everyday in my job with regular suits and pants. Since money and I hardly ever see eye to eye. (I want to hold on to it, it always wants to go away) I can't afford to either get kilt jackets or cut up my sport coats. That's why I've steered my kilting toward AK's and philabegs that ride lower on the hips. Trust me, I'd never wear a jacket like that with my J.Higgins tank. I agree the socks either need to be pushed down or replaced with oatmeal hose. It was close to 100 degrees outside and I just couldn't bring myself to put on wool socks. I'm going to shorten the sleeves and change the socks and I should be good to go. As soon as my blackwatch USAK shows up I'll show everyone what I'm wearing to the wedding as best man.
