Old Jacket Revamped

[O'Neille]

Very Nice, maybe a scooch too small. How doe's it feel when you wear it? I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't mentioned it. Could you button it? You did an excellent job on the pockets. O'Neille

It feels ok when wearing it as I never fasten a kilt jacket anyway. If I lost a couple of pounds It would fasten

Yes, the jacket as altered complements the kilt nicely.

Kilts and jackets are always a good reason to get in better shape aren't they. It's quite an investment that is not easily replaced or altered. I never fasten my buttons either but when they stop approximating I start running a little more. O'Neille

That turned out really well. You got the sporran cutaway just right.

Can you give us a labor breakdown so we might judge effort or cost to have this done? I've got a jacket I am planning to do the same thing with but I think I'll trust it to a tailor

It took approximately 4hrs to do from photo to photo. there are buttons to sew onto the pockets & epaulettes yet, we will get them tomorrow, say add on another 1/2hr.

Looks great! Very impressive. I would need a tailor to do the conversion and your success is just the encouragement once I find the proper jacket.

Thanks for the pictures.

Cheers! Bill

That turned out beautifully! I may have to try that myself... Very nice job. I like the pocket flaps the best.

Very nice David! I am considering a jacket for semi-formal occasions that the Argyll just seems to formal for. This is a great idea also for business situations
