Hello all,

I currently own a lovely Brooks Brothers blazer that is single breasted, has a single vent in the rear, two button, fully lined, and is a light brown - or tan - in colour with a Glen Plaid design. I would like to convert the blazer into a kilt jacket, specifically in the Crail style. I know I can order staghorn buttons from Kinloch-Anderson, and plan to have the tailoring done professionally by my tailor, however, I was curious if any of you have had this done before with a typical suit jacket or a blazer.

I have never done this (all of my current kilt jackets and waistcoats are bespoke from Kinloch-Anderson), and even though I will have my tailor alter the jacket, using my existing kilt jackets as a resource, I am still curious what you all think and if you have any suggestions/advice. I understand the pockets will have to be moved up, or slightly adjusted - not sure if that can even be done and still look good. Thanks for your time and assistance, it is greatly appreciated.

Yours aye,
