Notice anything interesting about the jacket?

It looks like the jacket doesn't have a lining.

It's gotta tag on it?

I don't know if its the picture, but it looks really small. Is there a way to close it? I don't see buttons or even ties.

Any pics of the rear?

Fail

It must be the picture. I guess it would fit a 36-38 which would have been a reasonable Medium back then. Ref the buttons - see para 2 of #4.

Any pics of the rear?

Yep, and the inside but that's not the point of the question. There's one very obvious feature.

It has a tie down for the upper half of the plaid on the left shoulder. Sorry, I don't have a better name for it.

[Harold Cannon]

Heath I remember something similar in this picture of Rob Roy. These are the only two examples of this I have ever seen other than the contemporary ones you see now on jackets.

That isnt the washing instructions?????

[SlackerDrummer]

Notice anything interesting about the jacket?

It would appear that the front is bias-cut and the back is straight. Is it one continuous piece with no side seam?

[saxandpipes]

I'm getting such an outfit made for me right now.

It should be completed in a few days.


Best,

Robert

Wow! Major Jones... And not even for my own kilt/jacket/hose... Can't wait Robert! (for pics of course!)
