Jacket for conversion

[svc40bt]

I have been thinking of doing a jacket conversion. Have checked several times at 2 local Salvation Army stores. Found several nice Harris tweeds, all about 5 sizes too small. Last trip I found one jacket large enough, a three button microfiber 'suede' jacket in taupe. Similar to this:

Any opinions how it might look as a kilt jacket?

The color is right.

Go for it! Who says a kilt jacket has to be wool?

Certainly not the import shops.

I've converted a similar jacket - it ended up looking something like Willie Duff's jacket pictured in this thread.

Nice color. Go ahead and try it.
