    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.

    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!
