Short Wasit Tuxedo Jacket

Thanks Alan!!!!

I've been trying to find those links!

How about an Eton jacket? They appear to be pretty shortwaisted, and apparently not worn with a waistcoat. I've never actually seen one in person before.

This style seems to open up nicely with room for a sporran....

Seems like it's available in both one button and three button styles...

most of those links are to "formal work wear" like waiters outlets and so on rather than "real" formal wear.

The one-button Eton jacket is OK with a kilt. The three-button, with the straight-cut bottom edge, tends to look too much like a little boy's Eton suit, to my eye!

I like Uniformalwearhouse a lot. We buy shirts and bow ties from them all the time and the service is great -- very fast shipping.

Bravehearts has a short thread about Etons. I agree...change the buttons.

I messaged the ebay seller about his one-button Etons with the cutaway front below the button and asked if he had any in 44L, which is my size. I figure the cutaway is grat for the kilt belt and sporran. If he does, I'll buy one, and some silver buttons, and snap some pics.
