Tonight I wore a black wool argyll jacket with my kilt, but my dad wore a camel hair jacket with his trousers. I was wondering, has anybody made a camel hair argyll jacket? I think it would look really good. Sounds like something 21st century kilts might want to try out.

Not an Argyle but we did a Donegal Jacket from Camel hair. It looked very good.

I agree camel hair would make a very nice kilt jacket. I'm sure a custom tailor who does kilt jackets could make one for you. Or you could do a conversion.

Do you have any pictures? I would like to see.

Some how the Camels hair jacket got out of the shop without have any pictures taken.

For pictures of our jackets please see the threads for the Kilt Cut Sport Coat in the Freedom Kilts section.

A conversion? The only way I'd ever do a conversion is if I found the jacket at a thrift shop, and I don't think I'll be coming across a camel hair jacket anytime soon in one of those...

Now, that you mention it, I have a camel hair imitation sport jacket that I am going to take to my tailor. He's getting pretty good at modifying my jackets.

Great idea.
