PC critique wanted

Looks fine to me. I really like the look of the saffron kilt with the black jacket.

Yes, that Saffron looks great with the PC! I'm a no-belt-with-PC guy myself, but that looks fine...

The oufit looks good. I would prefer it with no belt (but as long as you know the rule and are making a conscious choice that's fine). Your shoes don't look quite dressy enough for the PC emsemble. If you can manage to make some saffron flashes (maybe with black hose like Robin suggested) that would look smashing. All in all well done.

Cheers

To answer your original question ----

The waist of the jacket is a little large. To re-cut it though would take a good tailor. Preferably one with experience making military uniforms.

It would entail taking in the side and back seams. Don't touch the front at all.
The placement of the shoulders seems perfect. It just needs a little tweeking in the curved side and back seams.

If you're anywhere near a military base go see one of the tailors in the nearest town. Find one with a lot of mess dress jackets in his shop for work. This shop should be able to do the job very well.

Honestly, I think it looks good and hangs well.

You have a good sense of style and you do not look out of place. One point worth mentioning however - Highland hose (as worn with kilts) are not soccer sock! Perhaps you should fold them down a tad so that you can get three finger widths from the hose top to the knuckle of the tibial plateau at the side of the knee (that's the bump that you can feel on the outside of your knee), which is an old army rule. I can't help feeling this will improve the appearance of the whole outfit. Enjoy the experience!

Just a touch more fitted in the waist would be perfect. Shoot a pic when it's done. O'Neille

Can I ask what color that kilt is? It's difficult to tell from my monitor. It sort of looks brownish-orange but I'm also wondering what the color is called?
