I have multiple Scottevest products; an Evolution, a Fleece 5.0 (which combines with the Evolution to make a very warm winter coat) and an essential travel jacket. Fantastic for traveling. I can board an airplane with my iPhone, iPad, Kindle, headphones, sunglasses, boarding pass, passport, gloves, pens, a small notebook, a small digital camera with spare SD cards, and still have a little room leftover. Unless you really overstuff them they tend to hang well, even fully loaded, and all the weight it distributed very nicely. They've got lots of loops and holes and things so you can route earbuds and have very little in the way of exposed cords to bother you. I LOVE my Scottevests!

It looks like it could be a candidate for a kilt-jacket conversion. Considering that when we have to get dressed up a bit I wind up carrying all my wife's stuff this could be a godsend.
While a nice idea, I don't think this is really do-able. Scottevest stuff is constructed almost like two garments sewn together; an inside garment with all the pockets and stuff, and an outer garment that looks nice. Based on what I've seen of the sport coat on their site, it seems to follow this pattern. I just don't see any practical way to do it.

Now, the founder of the company, Scott Jordan, seems very hands-on and very interested in new products. I'll bet you could talk him into making a custom kilt jacket, at the appropriately outrageous price.
