Outerwear, and other protective gear

Or, if you like leather, it's hard to beat the old A2 in the looks and comfort department.

Totally agree. "Bomber" jackets are cut short-waisted, originally for sitting for long periods in military airplanes, and it's a cut that works very well with a kilt for casual outerwear. And there are other options for this than leather, too: Here's a bomber-style jacket in wool from Filson, both warm and water-repellent, from 5 months ago in a pub in Kashiwa, Japan:





EDIT: I haven't time to look for it, but someone here once posted some pics from the '50s or so in Scotland which, if I recall correctly, showed (among other things) some youngsters wearing bomber jackets with kilts.
