Can you confirm the details, being familiar with it in person?
The jacket is cut away some in the front, much like a kilt jacket, and is a bit longer in length than a standard jacket cut for the kilt. If you look closely, the jacket and trews are actually two different setts...my father occasionally wore them both together as a suit, as illustrated. It has been worn with the kilt, too!
The jacket was made by Bernard Weatherill in 1951.
