    Back to the original post, if you took that jacket, cut away, and hemmed it up, it would make a smart looking daywear jacket. Just don't close it, the kilt police are all around!

    Yes, that is the jacket I am working on. I've cropped it back and it now has a hemline where it is folded in the picture.

    It will have a cutaway, just not the same as on my other jacket with the tapered hemline from the curves to the side.

    As I have pointed out, it is not possible to close the jacket.

    I don't use the term "kilt police," though, I do feel that something else is going on here that has nothing to do with the way one wears a jacket.

    After the failure in the pleated-canvas man-skirt thread that lead to the need to create this thread, I am numbing to all of this. I have enjoied learning about the construction of kilt jackets and also of kilts, as well as, experiminting a little with design.

    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
