Highland Mess Jacket?

[Highland Logan]

Maybe custom-made sans side tashes? Too bad there’s no maker’s patch on it.

I think, based on the many photos I've seen here and elsewhere, as well as old tailoring instructions/guides; that this may be a conversation from something Saxon.

I'm with Logan, it's some sort of Saxon mess dress or tuxedo jacket that someone has crudely altered.

Cuffs have been added, and tashes/skirts have been added in the back.

I've seen a large number of vintage Highland jackets and sporrans on Ebay over the years that have been crudely modified by some previous owner, for example jackets which have had tashes and/or cuffs added (often in clashing fabric), jackets with cuffs altered, etc.

It's more common with vintage sporrans where you see old horsehair sporrans where the body and/or the tassels have been chopped very short, leather sporrans with cap badges crudely affixed, etc.

Right now on Ebay there's one of the most bizarre examples I've seen: somebody has affixed a child-size sporran onto the front of an adult-sized sporran, creating a strange monstrosity.
