Which jacket?

[Panache]

KCW,

The jacket looks god. Instead of worrying about creating patch pockets I would advise you to just sew the slash pockets shut. Take a small amount of the extra material and creat flaps for the pockets. Sew them above the closed slashed pockets so the bottom of the flap covers the closed pocket opening. This "moves" the pockets up. See what the tailor did on mine:

What he said - Charcoal, hands down.

Yep, add me to that list. If this is your first time resizing a jacket to kilt length, maybe try on one of the others first (or buy a $10 one at a thrift store). I thought it would be easy, but it isn't as easy as I had thought. I also agree with Matt that the top two would also made great jackets.

Jamie, your jacket looks very similar to this one, 3 buttons and the lapels are higher than on other jackets. I had thought about just faux flaps for the pockets, and that is probably the way I will go. Lack of time will force me to take the easiset approach.
