The long awaited Kilt Jacket
Many of you have been waiting a long time for the Kilt Cut Sports Coat I have been promising.

So here it is.......

This is the first one. It is done from a Caramel Brown Corduroy.
No epaulets, no fancy cuffs or buttons, no scalloped pocket flaps.

The buttons are the braided leather ones you find on other sports coats.
This jacket will have brown leather elbow patches added this week.

The next two jackets are being sewn now. One in a Brown Donegal Tweed and one in a Gray Donegal Tweed.

The front view



And a rear view



We hope to be in full production in two weeks.

I'll keep everyone posted about when we are ready to accept orders.
The jackets will be sized S,M,L,XL with a short,medium and long length option.
We think the price will be around $300.00 Canadian.

That look great! I'm not a huge fan of corduroy, but I do like Donegal tweed! Especially since I am from Donegal!

It's not fair Steve. The wife has forbidden me to buy any more kilts... Wait it's not a kilt!

That looks very good, I am eagerly awaiting the tweed, could you make the gray tweed a 40 short.

That is very nice Steve and will be a nice addition to almost any kilt kollection.
