I had this old Jacket in my wardrobe doing nothing, I admit it to be a little on the snug side. My wife & I thought, lets try & make a kilt Jacket out of it. Jacket Before alterations Jacket after alterations What do you think,is it serviceable or not. (There is buttons to go on the epaulettes yet )

looks awesome! Who did the actual alteration? Your wife? Tell he she did a fantastic job!
Looks good to me!
Looks great!

[sarcasm] No no. That looks AWFUL. [sarcasm] You're going to have to do away with it. Just send it over to me and I'll properly dispose of it! No, but really. WOW! looks great! Once I get a bit of confidence on a sewing machine I'd like to make a go at converting one.
Very well done indeed - the jacket looks great and you look sharp as a tack!
David, Great transformation! The jacket sets off the colors of the kilt very well. Tom
