So What Kinda Jacket Am I Looking For?
I'd like a comfortable jacket/coat for DAILY wear. Until the last half of the 20th century men had practical coats that were worn with vests.
The 'kilt jackets' that I've had were a bit shorter than I'd like (and quite honestly add to the I'm-wearing-my-Kilt-Outfit look), but more importantly the sleeves didn't allow for natural arm movement. The underside of the sleeve is attached way down 'round the middle of the ribcage.
Something with no or little shoulder padding would be nice, as well.
Am I looking for a 'sack' coat or some sort of 'Blazer' or 'sports' coat or what?
Is anyone making a kilt jacket/coat thats just A BIT shorter than a suit coat with PRACTICAL sleeves and SANS the epaulets and scalloped pocket and cuff flaps?
