Bespoke kilt jacket

[rtc872]

Hello all.

I am getting married next year and have been looking at jackets and have been quite surprised that the modern styles that I like are generally listed as £350. This seems to me to be quite a steep investment (costing more than my kilt) to make without being able to first try it on and without knowing the quality.

Therefore even if it costs a couple hundred more I thought why not invest in a jacket that can potentially last me for many years to come and fit perfect.

Which leads to the advice part of the post.

Being for a wedding, is charcoal tweed too casual in your opinion?

Being a piper are there any suggestions for making the arm movement a little more free?

Is there anything I should particularly ask for and look out for?

and lastly what length for jacket and vest should I go for? I will most probably be going to a tailor that has only ever made suits so I should have an idea.

Thanks for any help
