My apologies to Sir Sean and to his followers for appearing to pick on him but, he is supposedly an unofficial Ambassador for Scotland and, as such, should set a better example.
Hamish, ignorance is bliss, then, I guess, as, like I said, I'm fairly new to the world of kilts. I'm sure that not everything that looks cool to me now will look cool to me a year from now. 
My apologies also for contributing to the hijacking of the thread. The new jacket is cool, no matter who it reminds me of. 8-)

Well Alan...It seems that you've become the unofficial tailor for Xmarks. First your thread detailing your first hand-sewn kilt and now some directions for
making a kilt jacket from an ordinary sportcoat.
What's next on the list...sporans?
Your dedication to kilt wearing(and this board) is admirable.

I'm working on a few web pages, including pics and stuff. I've got it about half done, should have it by, say Thursday or so...

Sure you say Thursday or so, but what week, month, and year?

 This clothes horse is off to the races.
Alan, you've inspired me. I've got what? about 20 sports coats in my closet. Nearly half of them look convertable. (the solid colours and tweeds) Now where's that sewing machine me mum gave me a coupla years ago? Found it in the back of the storage room. Whoa. How do you use this thing? It looks like a dandy machine, but there's no instructions. I go to the web and search for "Pfaff Hobbymatic 870"+instructions. And in no time at all I've found a site where a hard copy of the manual can be ordered. As if life weren't all ready good enough. Well its about to get better :mrgreen: (dressed)!
Cheers,
Vincent

The next-most-useful thing to the sewing machine is a full-length mirror!
....and next to that is a friend who'll crawl around you and put in pins where hems are supposed to be, while you stand up straight. I've done that about a million times for my wife. If you don't have a wife, rent a friend for beer and pizza. *grin*
