Converting a tweed sport coat to a Braemar jacket

[Ramsay]

Hello,
If I posted the picture correctly, you should see the Harris tweed jacket I found at a second hand store for $30. My ladyfriend converted it to a kilt jacket. The kilt is the MacThomas tartan.

F-H. C. A. G.,
That's a beautiful reworking job you did on that jacket! If you ever find yourself in possession of a 42 long, and need something to occupy your time, I'd be glad to have one of those!

I wonder how much time was involved in this project, and would it have been faster to make the jacket from scratch?

Have you done any more of them lately?

Have you done any more of them lately?

She has done two (and a couple of waist coats)





Here is the photo thread /tutorial that shows how she did it in an afternoon.

Each jacket took her about three hours.

Cheers
