This link might also help. This is a page our own Alan H. made about how to convert a jacket.

http://www.geocities.com/alanhsails/...lt_jacket.html

I printed out several pictures from it when I took my two jackets to the tailor to show what I wanted. My suggestion is that if it is at all possible to wear your kilt and sporran to help them mark the jacket properly for shortening.

Good luck and please post a before and after picture!

Cheers
