Suit jacket conversion for PTK induction
Thanks to all the fine tutorials and posts here, I found the courage
to attempt converting a suit into a passable kilt jacket for my
induction into Phi Theta Kappa today. Next time I will definitely
pick a nice tweed instead, but from a few feet away, it's not too bad.

I'm not sure why it's hanging funny in this picture oh well.

Not bad at all wear it well.

Looks very good indeed. I'm in the middle of a black jacket conversion and I hope it comes out that nice!

Looks good. I have multiple started and a very few finished. I'll have to get them restarted.

Johnny, you done yourself proud. That's the best conversion I've seen. I wouldn't have thought it a conversion, so you really did well since I guess that's the whole point.

Looks great! I wore a kilt to my PTK induction, and there are actually some pics of that floating around here. Let me just say, I didnt look anywhere near as sharp as you. Well done!
