    Revamped kilt jacket No 2

    Found this other old jacket that I have not worn for a while, revamped it a little, into kilt jacket No 2.
    Again the before picture

    The finished jacket

    A close up

    I think it goes well with the Black Watch kilt, what do you think

    What an outstanding transformation! David, that is marvellous - well done. It beats me where so many of my kilted brethren get their sewing talents from, but you have it by the bucketfull.

    That really does look great! About all I could do is sew on the buttons and they'd likely wind up crooked at that. Did you use a pattern of some kind or just eyeball it?
