| | | Another possibly modern jacket idea
Has anyone seen a standing collar nehru type kilt cut jacket?
I think that it would have a nice clean look plus I've always liked those
style of jackets.

I'm also a fan of that collar (Nehru, mandarin, stand up, etc) and, for traditional Highland wear, it is found on the Sherrifmuir and Kenmore doublets:

FWIW: on civilian attire a standing coat collar is more often referred to as a "Cadet Collar".

I like the top one but its way too formal for any of my activities I think.

How about this one from Slanj?
Still quite formal I guess...

How about an Iona jacket? I've been meaning to start a thread about them specifically because I don't know any history or context... here's a few pics:

I decided to start a thread specifically about the Iona in the general kilt talk section. I'd still like to see if anyone else has suggestions for the OP here regarding other cadet collar jackets though!
How about a Chinese style jacket like Toddish McWong from Gung Haggis Fat Choy wears with the kilt? You could easily find one in plain coloured cotton if you want something less fancy...

Here's a thread discussing conversion of a Nehru collar jacket into a pseudo-Sheriffmuir.
