New jacket

**AckZel** · 29th March 07, 10:44 AM

Our rugby club and other associations have taken my time completely lately but now I try to activate on this forum also. Anyway, I just got a new jacket which my mother altered me for kilt use. The whole mens suit it was made from costed only 8 euros (about $10). I think it looks pretty dandy

And my mothers husband got a new set of pants

Very sharp looking! She did a great job. Though I personally would not button the jacket (and I don't think the belt is needed with the waistcoat).

Cheers

Looking good.

Ladies say there's something about a man in a kilt, but there's really something about a RUGGER in a kilt.

OR so my wife tells me.

NICE! Very sharp and at that price, it's a steal!

Your Mother does great work! (The next question from the rabble will be if she's willing to spread the talent around in support of others...)

Enjoy your new garb!

I asked her to measure it for use with the belt so that the buckle would show, I like the belt

Then good on you, both for knowing what you like, and then making it happen.

Looks Sharp! Is there light pinstripe in it? You might consider asking her to raise the pockets just a bit to put it back in proportion visually. I've still got a jacket hanging in the closet I need to get this done to. One day...
