Having a jacket made?

[Carolina Kiltman]

I agree,but unless your tailor understands the finer points of "cutting" a kilt jacket, the end result may disappoint. Might I suggest that you go "armed "with lots of pictures of kilt jackets and very importantly, how it hangs with the kilt, so that your tailor can SEE what you want and need.

Suggestion, since tailors don't come cheap nowadays (in fact they never did! I know!) you might even rent a jacket of the style to show him/her exactly what you are after. This outfit in GA http://www.atlantakilts.com/PriceGuide.htm rents them for $55-$65 consider it insurance.
