I suspect the question is probably about jackets and waistcoats like the ones shown below. The fad was to button the jacket up high, and have it open around the belly to show off the watch chain. This caused the waistcoats to need a higher buttoning front so they would cover up to where the jacket was buttoned. These were popular in the latter half of the 1800s, but were phasing out of style by the early 1900s. By WWI, they seem to have gone extinct.
To my knowledge, no one makes a kilt jacket like these any more, at least at the commercial level. A bespoke tailor could do one, and I'm sure there would be ways to convert Saxon-style jackets to this style.
