    I'd be interedted in a denim jacket, just not the full PC cut. However, what I'd really like is a cheap tweed jacket. The only kilt cut tweed seems to be based on the Argyle style and are still over $200, which I think is a little silly since I can go to men's wearhouse and get a tweed blazer for under $100, it's just too long to wear with a kilt.

    I'm not much in favour of a Prince Charlie, but I think a "casual" jacket in leather say along the lines of the No 2 Dress KD as worn by Highland regiments in India and MELF might work.

    I am young and hotheaded, and don't give a rat's **** about fashion, so I personally am all in favor of the leather PC. If nothing else it would turn some heads. the only problem I can see is that with a leather PC, you'd need a leather kilt, and with that probably a leather fly plaid, and formal sporran that still had the whole leather look without being a casual daywear sporran. Plus I'm not sure regular hose would compliment a completely leather outfit...

    :-P

    Much as I love my six leather kilts, I could never see myself wearing a leather PC, Argyll, Crail or any other formal or semi-formal Scottish jacket. Leather is NOT a formal material and I currently have no desire to go further than wearing either a black or a brown leather bomber jacket with my kilts - whether they be of leather, wool, cotton, canvas, pvc or poly-whatever! Having said that, something along the lines of a leather bomber, but somewhat less bulky, would be interesting - but only for casual wear.

    A PC jacket or Argyll in leather would just look tacky.....

    No doubt the Men's Warehouse can hook you up with a tailor to recut the bottom of the jacket. Better yet, I have little doubt that their own on-site tailor will be pleased to fit you up in grand style.
