Opinions Wanted: New Kilt Jacket (PIC)

[CMcG]

Judging by the positive responses thus far, this seems to work

As unixken mentioned, most jackets cut for p@nts won't work with kilts and vice versa. I kept looking at the slim-cut blazers that have been on trend for the last couple years and thinking they could almost be kilt appropriate. I even went as far as bringing a measuring tape into a couple stores... my previous searches came up close, but a bit too long. It is worth noting that the jacket I ended buying wouldn't work with all my kilts because some of them have a shorter fell than others.

It looks fine enough to me mate. I'd get the waistcoat as well. Perhaps some thinner soled shoes would better suit the lightweight nature of the jacket? (cracking shine though!)

Good call re the waistcoat; I might just get it. Ironically, I had on a thinner soled pair of shoes, but my girlfriend thought the chunkier ones had a more casual look to go with the semi-structured cut and cotton material of the jacket. The soles aren't as utilitarian as they look i.e., they're not field-worthy treads, but rather Fluevog certified "Satan-proof":
