jacket with casual kilt

[Bugbear]

I would just have it shortened to the length of a regular kilt jacket, a little above the bottom of the fell, if it is a regular length fell.

My canvas kilt is mid rise too, and I tried it with my kilt jacket. I don't have any good pictures handy, but I don't think the mid rise was an issue. The kilt does have a short fell compared to a regular kilt though; the jacket may have actually helped that a little.


I would like to know the Wizard of BC's oppinion of this.

Ted's advice is good. I have converted one jacket myself:

From those pictures, you can see that the top of the kilt is not an issue (note that the kilt in the pictures is actually a sports kilt, and being worn low). What is more important, is that the cut away in the front has room for the sporran.

Another thing to note is that you do not really have all that much control over how long the jacket ends up. You trim the jacket so that just one button is removed. It turns out that this mostly dictates the new length of the jacket.

Enjoy your new kilt jacket!
