Suits Jackets With Kilts

[Mr. MacDougall]

makes me miss the traveling Hong Kong tailor that used to come to town once a year to take orders.

If you have a Brooks Brothers near you, they have custom tailors that take orders a couple of times a year for any given location.

Oh Lord! You must think that I'm rich!

Anyway, I once went into the local Brooks Brothers to buy a suit and all the trimmings and the clerk was so unbelievably condescending that I left and went across the street to Marshall Field's and bought TWO suits, a dozen shirts and two pair of shoes...needless to say, this was back when I was single and mortgage-less and child-less...you know: the Good Old Days?

Just say 'NO' to suit jackets with kilts. You might say they don't suit a kilt.

That doesn't mean you need to wear a jacket that looks like a refugee from the 18th century, either. From the Scottish Tartan Museum & modeled by our own Matt Newsome, here's a good example of the way a modern kilt jacket should look like.

If you can shell out for a tank, you can shell out for a nice jacket, and with the same justifications.

Look for a Brooks Brothers Outlet store, but I must say, Brooks Brothers really isn't that expensive in the grand scheme of things, and...you get what you pay for.

I am a loyal BB customer, though, so I am a wee bit biased.

NO NO NO! This is probably the biggest NO NO to me. It just looks sloppy....but that's just an opinion

Seriously the coat is too long and you would look like you are walking around in a bath robe.

Go to the thrift store and get an inexpensive jacket and just have it shortened at least. It will still look 100X better than a long suit coat.

Compare these examples

and

cant give a better example than that

I say no to suit jackets to wear with the kilt, they do not look right. Its not dificult to modify a jacket for the kilt.
This is one I did some time ago.
