The jacket is a thin wool, like a regular wool suit jacket.
Does anyone know how I could go about dying it?
Don't even think about it. Kilt jackets are structured garments, and consist of a whole lot more than just the shell and the lining. Soaking it in 160 F water will ruin the canvas.
Were you talking about a cheap thrift coat or something, I might try it. But not a new one that cost money. Buy black one, or live with blue.
