Thanks for the advice. I may head to a tailor and have them make the adjustments.

Thanks All.

I simply wear a nice sport coat with my kilt, it looks just fine. Gives the entire rig a more contemporary look.

It helps to start out with a jacket that is a little small around the waist, but fits fine in the shoulders. Also, if you start with a jacket that has patch pockets rather than slit pockets, it helps a lot. The tailor will need to remove the patch pockets, shorten them then put them back on at a higher spot.

Just a couple of things to look for when you are picking out a jacket for the... chop job.
