    Oh, I thought that was your plan all along. Here's a pic of my jacket mod project (and my gorgeous wife!)

    Looks good Cavscout!

    I'm debating on trying to find a tweed jacket to convert, or going with a tux like the one this thread is about. Those do seem to be a good candidate for PC conversion.

    The only modification I did to this jacket was replace the satin covered buttons with pewter buttons from 3 feathers.

    The jacket is an Eton Tux Jacket that Alan tipped me off about on Ebay. So the overall shape of the jacket didn't change at all.

    It's a bit on the small side. (if anyone is interested in buying a 44" jacket PM me. ) I'll find a 46" that will fit just right and do the same thing again.

    If I had wanted to take the time and money to have someone button-hole the buttons so I could remove them for dry cleaning it would have been better but I wasn't interested in spending the extra cash at the time. I can always do that later.
