semi-formal, what did it cost me?

Hey Alan,

That's a great looking semi-formal outfit. I really like the jacket you transformed. Do you have any tips for the do-it-yourselfer when altering
a jacket for kilt-wearing. You mentioned the dificulties of altering the lapels.
Would some styles of sportcoats be easier to alter?
Any tips would be helpful.

Thanks for the kind words. You know, this topic has garnered some interest, so I think I will write up something right now. The information is on the board here, but it's spread out over anumber of threads. I think I will condense it into one long post.....good idea.

Alan,

I second that request.

I just picked up a grey wool jacket at St. Vinnie's for $5. I've been thinking about have it cut down, but for $5, I can ruin a few modifying them myself.

Thanks,
