We're Launching a New Kilt Jacket!

Smart daywear? Really? Yes its tweed, so one might think so, but the tie and sporran do not necessarily imply that that might be the intention, which is why I asked where and what the intended use was going to be. For daywear, smart daywear even, one would not normally wear a ruche tie and a dress sporran with a tweed jacket. So, are we talking formal daywear(morning coat equivalent) here? Tweed and horn buttons do not lead one to think so.

I like the blue tweed but the ruche tie and the dress sporran don't play well with it. To me it's a mixed-up look but, as I said, I like the tweed and the cut of the jacket. Price range and some information about the large buttons would be welcome.

Since the OP was specifically referencing the jacket, that is what I was referencing. It is presented with an odd mix of accessories but the garment could (and should) be paired with more traditional day wear.

Perhaps it is my decades dressing mannequins for display, but I really just looked at the jacket and vest as the focal points. That being said, I could see this jacket paired with a red tie and a Campbell tartan. (My family. ).

You are absolutely right, Jock. The combination of elements taken as a whole, appears odd.

I agree about the accessories Rex, and personally although I like the colour I would prefer it with gauntlet cuffs.

I'd second that. I prefer the gauntlet cuffs or no epaulets and simple cuffs, not the 3 button PC look for a tweed.

I also like the color as something different that all the charcoal tweed jackets out there.

I think the jacket and vest are gorgeous. I'd be interested in purchasing, sure.

Regards,
Jonathan

I'd be interested in the jacket without the epaulets. Not a bad look, just not a fan. Very good cut for the manikin, hope that it is just as smart on a human.

Navy is a colour we are asked for fairly often which is why we chose to go with this colour and our tweed jackets are most popular which is why we went for a navy tweed. Looking at the jacket closely, it is a mix of navy and black tweed which we think looks great. We've already had a good number of Groom's decide to go for this for their wedding.
