Very Dark Brown Kilt Jacket?

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

Getting photos will be more difficult than converting the jacket...

If it comes out alright, I will try to get photos to post. Thanks.

I was able to look into the cost or price of having alterations done on jackets and other clothing today while I was out and about picking up my suits from the dry cleaners. It seems standard to be priced per procedure being done rather than per item. By that I mean, for example, X dollars per sleeve to be shortened and the like.

I am going to keep what I found out there in mind when I am doing my own alterations to convert the kilt jackets, as well as, the work that I have done to my wool kilt to improve it. Perhaps not at the rate being charged by the pros, but some value to my work. After all, the money I don't spend on turning these jackets which cost me nothing into kilt jackets and improving my Stillwater kilt can go toward the kilt and jacket I would like to have. I'll get there.

I am still thinking over what I would like and need in the kilt jacket that will go with the traditional kilt when I have them made. It may very well be that that jacket and kilt are a "one shot deal" for me, and they have to be exactly what I want and need.
