Very Dark Brown Kilt Jacket?

[Bugbear]

Hey Everybody!!
The Wizard has his new kilt cut sport jackets-now made in Scotland-available. I strongly suggest you read his post if you are looking to have a kilt jacket made.

Ted,

I just happen to have a Scottish made Kilt-Cut Sport Coat with 5 button Waistcoat hanging in my shop.

It is a most georgous deep Brown Tweed.

Send me your sizes.Or better yet, PM me and I'll send you the measuring instructions.

Especially you, Rex_Tremende, , and thanks for the help. Also, thanks McMurdo for the advice.


*** Original Post ***
Would a very dark brown jacket and waistcoat go well with this kilt? Dark like chocolate or coffee brown.

Is a very dark brown kilt jacket dressier daywear than medium brown?

Thanks.
* I was thinking of converting a dark brown jacket and waistcoat that was givin to me, but I didn't really explain that part when I created this thread. Sorry for the confusion.
The story of how I ended up with this and another jacket is in this post on my trip to get new, used suits. *

[Rex_Tremende]

Yes, it would.

[McMurdo]

I think it would go nicely with your kilt, however I could not say that one brown would be dressier than another, brown is a wonderful colour for day wear though.

I put the anouncement up in the first post, Wizard.

I'm going to have to hold back a while on buying a new kilt jacket and plan to get one around the same time as the Gray Granite traditional kilt.

I have talked with other members who have been looking for the option of a customized kilt jacket, and they will be excited to hear that Freedom Kilts is now offering them.

Ted, man, I am so jealous of that kilt. I wanted one... Oh well. I think that darker colors always look better. I wear navy blue socks with my Clergy kilt, for example. So I'd go for the darker choice.

Thanks Nighthawk. I already converted a medium brown, corduroy jacket and waistcoat to go with it.

The rest of the story is that someone was about to throw out some suits that were missing the matching trousers and didn't fit anymore, so I saved them.

Also, I have put a lot of alteration work into that kilt to make it fit me better. So, while saving up for a traditional kilt and sharp outfit, I thought I would make the best of what I have on hand.

The other outfit I'm planning (Gray Granite tartan) will go much better with gray or black. That's where the Wizard's jackets will come in.

Ted, it would look wonderful with that kilt.
I can't wait to see the pictures once you get it!

Thanks BoldHighlander. I'm still trying to get pictures of my first jacket conversion, though.
It took me about a month to get the first one done, then tweeking time and so on... In fact, I just put the interfacing back in the hems the other day. It probably won't take as long on this one because I was learning and reading up on kilt jackets for the last one while working on it.

You bet it would Ted. Look forward to seeing the photos after you have added it to your collection.
