    A hacking jacket

    I just bought this jacket on eBay for $35.00 now I just need to get it converted to a kilt jacket once I get it and make sure that it fits.

    Tailored Mens Gray Herringbone Tweed Hacking Jacket 42R



    This handsome sportcoat is custom made. It appears to be a Harris Tweed although there is no label. The color is a light gray with blue and a sprinkling of red. It is tailored in the style of a hacking jacket with slanted pockets and a ticket pocket and 2 side vents. It is in excellent condition and has a full lining with 3 inside pockets. There is no size label.
    Armpit to armpit 23"
    Sleeve length 25 1/2
    Length (nape to hem) 30
    Across shoulders 19
