Tartan jacket

Hi guys. Sorry I havent posted with any input in a while... been very busy!

Basically I've been looking at getting a dark solid-coloured kilt, and I believe a waistcoat to match the kilt would go pretty well with a tartan Wallace-style jacket.
e.g.

I'm wondering if any of you could recommend a tailor to do this. I have plenty of 16oz wool tartan material for the tailor, and wouldnt expect it to be very cheap anyway! Any saving is a bonus, but I'm looking for quality to match the price.

There's a wee thread about a dark solid tartan jacket here:

Perhaps there is some way of figuring out where the owner of the jacket on that thread got his?

Paul,

We order jackets from tailors in Glasgow who could do this for you. As you are not far from them, in theory you could send the cloth our tailors and we could just bill you for the CMT. You'd have to email us with your measurement and we'd put the order in with our tailors.

PM me if you want info on the CMT cost.

On the other hand, I'm sure there have to be Highland Dress shops close to your area where you could actually go in for a proper fitting.

I've been thinking about getting a tartan jacket in this same style but have not made the plunge yet!
