    New Houndstooth Jacket

    I've recently completed a conversion of an old Brooks Brother houndstooth jacket that I have worn for many years. It was great to repurpose my good friend for kilt duty.




    And the obligatory Hamish-like pose.

    That is one very nice jacket. It looks like it was custom made as a kilt jacket. Impecable.

    Good work on the jacket but your expression in the "Hamish" pose is priceless!

    As thescot said, the jacket looks custom made for kilts, not like a conversion. Fantastic!

    What a FANTASTIC job on the jacket conversion - looks custom-made - and your entire
    kit is very well put together. BRAVO !!
