We're Launching a New Kilt Jacket!

Smart daywear? Really? Yes its tweed, so one might think so, but the tie and sporran do not necessarily imply that that might be the intention, which is why I asked where and what the intended use was going to be. For daywear, smart daywear even, one would not normally wear a ruche tie and a dress sporran with a tweed jacket. So, are we talking formal daywear(morning coat equivalent) here? Tweed and horn buttons do not lead one to think so.

Since the OP was specifically referencing the jacket, that is what I was referencing. It is presented with an odd mix of accessories but the garment could (and should) be paired with more traditional day wear.

Perhaps it is my decades dressing mannequins for display, but I really just looked at the jacket and vest as the focal points. That being said, I could see this jacket paired with a red tie and a Campbell tartan. (My family. ).

You are absolutely right, Jock. The combination of elements taken as a whole, appears odd.

The jacket can be worn as a daywear jacket with a day sporran if you want to make it more casual. However, as it is a jacket we offer in our hire range, we'll find that most people wearing the outfit will be going to a wedding and will therefore want the outfit to be more formal. Most of our customers will wear the jacket with dress sporran and a ruche or straight tie.

We have found our tweed 'daywear' jackets become increasingly popular for formal events as opposed to the traditional black tie outfits such as Prince Charlie.

I'd be interested in the jacket without the epaulets. Not a bad look, just not a fan. Very good cut for the manikin, hope that it is just as smart on a human.
