    Can someone inform me of the importance of the vents? I never found them that attractive on the jackets. I'd rather go without too.

    On the Argyle type jackets, the vents are there to allow the front-bottom of the jacket to move a bit in relation to the back-bottom of the jacket as the hips etc move. Since the kilt jacket is to be worn open, or not buttoned, the vents aren't too important if the jacket is well talored and properly flared out from the waist. A single, center vent in the back, like many sport jackets have, would not work well on a kilt jacket for a number of reasons, so... you can just leave the vents off.

    I'm sure someone else can add to that.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
