Kilt-Length Blazer
I am searching for a dark navy blue kilt-length blazer without any luck. Does anyone know where I might find something like this, or have it made?
I am specifically wanting a Patch Pocket Club Blazer styled jacket to have the embroidered clan crest applied to the chest pocket for clan functions.

Alright I will stick my head above the parapet. Most would consider that your Clan tartan, several yards of it in the kilt, is more than enough "advertising" with perhaps a Clan badge in your bonnet(should you choose to wear one) as an acceptable addition, anything more would be regarded by many as overkill. Major overkill. Whilst it is entirely your choice, can I suggest a re-think on this.
Just saying.

I think the blazer with the clan crest is a fine idea - for when you are in Saxon attire.

These gentlemen, formally of the 4th Royal Tank Regiment, have sewn their embroidered regimental badges onto standard argyll jackets.

Sorry Bruce, the OP was asking about a Clan Crest, not Regimental ones. In passing I have not seen a kilt cut jacket with a Regimental badge on it in Scotland. It may happen of course, but I have not seen it.

Hi Jock, Yes, I was aware of that. I simply used the picture to illustrate how others have dealt with the issue of a badge on a kilt jacket, ie, no need for a specially made blazer with patch pocket.
4 RTR, sadly no longer on the ORBAT, recruited in Scotland and these fellows are at an old comrades reunion at Bathgate.

Not to mention the RTR badged sporrans, belt buckles, bonnets and plaid brooches - all worn with the regimental ties and badged jackets.
The tartan is Rose (Hunting) - ". . . the Pipes and Drums of the Regiment are privileged to wear the Hunting Rose Tartan of the Roses of Kilravock (pronounced Killrock), a unique distinction bestowed on the Regiment in 1972 by Miss Elizabeth Rose, present Baroness of Kilravock and Clan Chief."
