They are lightweight jackets and good for warm weather. I liked the way they looked and my wife shortened them and added the sporran cutaway and added epaulets.

The vest is corduroy, also from Target and also shorten by my wife.

I make no claim that they are in any way traditional Highland attire.

Now we certainly took a page from the traditional Highland attire to get them the right length and adding the epaulets to the jackets that for some reason just look so right with kilts.

But I think they work and are practical for the weather we have here in California.

Most importantly, they reflect my own kilted style.

They do look good and it is what I'm talking about. Now, do you thinks your darling and talented wife could sew two jackets together to fit around my one-size never fits frame.

I am working at dropping weight to at most 12 stone 13 from my 20 stone 10. At 12 stone 13 I should be at the top end of Target and WalMart and can begin to work on my wardrobe. I have already dropped 3 stone 8 I just need to get off the work tread mill and back on the one in my room.
