I know this was posted recntly on another thread. However, I thought it belonged here as well. Not a PC jacket but as formal as I'm likely to get...

Majdan,

Don't be shy, just use the image link (looks like a mountain) when you post, so we can see you like this:

Best regards,

I have a friend (named Bonnie) that does seamstress and alteration work on the side so I took the whole pile to her. I verbally layed out what I was looking for and she agreed to do it.

When I picked it up, I was due to leave for an Alaskan cruise the next day, so it had to be right. When I saw the tails, I was a bit shocked. I wasn't specific enough. I told her to round the tails, but meant only on the outside and she rounded them all the way round. The more I looked at it, the more I liked it. Like Panache offered, this wasn't an attempt to duplicate a Price Charlie, but to create a unique formal kilt jacket. I like it!

So, here it is - the Bonnie (for the seamstress) Prince Mowgli Jacket and Waistcoat.

From the back...

With my beloved...

Thanks to Panche for your help.

A great looking jacket and vest. By the way, is that the MacDonald of Glencoe tartan you're wearing ?
