    Thank you Tess!

    I had wanted a casual jacket to wear with kilts and Patti Smith steered me to Tartan Tess. I provided her with a well-loved Harris jacket that I have worn many times and she has, for a modest price, converted it into a wonderful jacket for me to wear while kilted. The results are here:

    I love how she made the gauntlet cuffs. To me it is magical.

    Works wonderfully. I am very satisfied and grateful.

    Thank you Tess.

    ....and he forgot to add that we planned on him trying it on so i could mark the length with his kilt but he ran off to go pipe somewhere :0) I am glad you like it. I love the color and the antler buttons you bought for it.

    Very handsome jacket. Hard to believe it is a conversion. Great color, cuffs, and buttons. Nice-looking outfit, too. Congratulations to you, and Tartan Tess.
    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.
