New take on a kilt jacket

[turpin]

Very interesting approach, Phil. I like it. I agree with Panache and McMurdo - jacket open - it allows the vent to hang better.

Something bothers me about the front, though. Do you always wear your sporran that high? I think if you wore it lower, you could change the arc in the front a bit so that it would cut away more gradually from just below the buttonhole. As it is now it seems too severe an angle. Just MHO

Thanks for all the kind words and insights gents - unbuttoned it is! Speaking of buttons, I think I need to re-think the choice of buttons here.

I LOVE the lines in the back. It's so fitted....yet flowing. I think Turpin is right though, the angle in front is a bit severe. Great prototype, I'd love to see what else you come up with. *wishing she was half as creative*

Fantastic job, and great idea...

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have the Argyll, we have the Crail. We have the Braemer, the Eton and now for something completely different! The Corlis Jacket. This thing could really have legs.

Aw shucks Turpin - you are too kind and mighty flattering... but in keeping with a recent thread that connected highland attire to Scottish locations - I think we should come up with a name that follows that formula.

How about the Glenbogle or the Aberdeen?

Good job and some good suggestions for improvement. Maybe you have a business here.
We all know of good jackets we don't know what to do with or able to purchase at a good price. The price on designer highland jackets is pretty steep.

AWESOME!

Looks great! Good job.

How about the Alenhart (Coeur d'Alene)?
