New take on a kilt jacket

[pdcorlis]

Aw shucks Turpin - you are too kind and mighty flattering... but in keeping with a recent thread that connected highland attire to Scottish locations - I think we should come up with a name that follows that formula.

How about the Glenbogle or the Aberdeen?

AWESOME!

Good job and some good suggestions for improvement. Maybe you have a business here.
We all know of good jackets we don't know what to do with or able to purchase at a good price. The price on designer highland jackets is pretty steep.

Looks great! Good job.

How about the Alenhart (Coeur d'Alene)?

[pdcorlis]

Ok - I think I've got a name - how about this... the Selkirk after the mountain range that begins in Coeur d Alene and extends into British Columbia and also the location of the Scottish Border Abbey where William Wallace was declared guardian of Scotland.

I really like the lines on the back of that. The dear boy has a jacket he hints that he wants cut down (he sews but hates cutting things and doing curves and such) the thing is, it's corduroy... I HATE corduroy, haven't decided if I like him enough for that yet. Just touching the stuff makes me shudder. He does really need a kilt-friendly jacket though.

the Selkirk....i like that name!

The Selkirk it should be.

I really like the lines of the back except with the wait tight it pulls the middle open a bit too much. I agree that the front needs to be a bit lower. I think I would ant to see at least a couple more inches below the button and then a quick turn into the rest of the lower line of the jacket as you designed it. Just my two cents.

Now of course the reason it works is because you are getting close to a civilian version of a cutaway like this:

Phil, you look fantastic in that. It's really nice, works well with the kilt and is a very classy jacket.
Nicely done.
