campbell,

If you have one, you should post a picture of your ensemble. I too admit that the cost of a kilt jacket is daunting. If the outfit you assembled looks smart it doesn't matter where the components came from.

That said, I wouldn't knock "real" kilt jackets (by this I only mean jackets made intended to be worn with kilts). They look great with kilts because that is exactly what they are designed to do.

Cheers

Jamie
