Old Jacket Revamped
I had this old Jacket in my wardrobe doing nothing, I admit it to be a little on the snug side. My wife & I thought, lets try & make a kilt Jacket out of it.
Jacket Before alterations
Jacket after alterations
What do you think,is it serviceable or not. (There is buttons to go on the epaulettes yet )

What a transformation! More than serviceable, I'd say. The cool-neutral color goes very well with the blues and black belt/sporran/shoes. Nice tailoring. Excellent job.
Regards,

[sarcasm] No no. That looks AWFUL. [sarcasm]
You're going to have to do away with it. Just send it over to me and I'll properly dispose of it! 
No, but really. WOW! looks great! Once I get a bit of confidence on a sewing machine I'd like to make a go at converting one.

David,
Great transformation! The jacket sets off the colors of the kilt very well.
