Eisenhower Jacket

[macwilkin]

I may be bombarded with hate mail for this but it is not as if I am comparing the old Woodland Camouflage field Jacket to the Eisenhower Jacket.

I really think that the Eisenhower Jacket would look great when you wear your kilt in a casual to semi-formal setting, of course one would have to de-militarize the jacket by removing rank etc..., so as not to downgrade the importance of a great American General. I feel that the Eisenhower Jacket is a variant to the Price Charlie Jacket minus the fancy buttons.

I don't know if I would compare it to a Prince Charlie...J. Charles "Scotty" Thompson* recommended using an Ike jacket or the British battledress for day attire, but it's really not appropriate, INMHO, for formal attire.

The IKE jacket looks really good with a kilt. It is not greatly different from some other military jackets worn with kilts.
