    Cutting down a jacket

    I'm ready to have one of my 3-button Harris Tweed's cut down to wear with my kilt. I've tried to search for the person here in the US who does this but can't relocate the string. Can anyone help or perhaps that person send me a note?

    vmac3205 does them, and I think ChattanCat is doing the conversions now, as well.

    ChattanCat just did a Harris Tweed jacket conversion for me. It should be here by UPS tomorrow. I'm looking forward to seeing it in person. You can see pieces of it here >>> http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/e...x.html?t=48054

    PS He is in the Kansas City area. Here's a picture of the finished product.

    What you focus on becomes your reality.
    You can't control what other people do or say, you can only control how you respond.
    Don't act your age, it's not healthy.
