    Brian,

    Please be wary of wearing 'normal' jackets, such as the blazer, with your kilts. Jackets not designed to be worn with kilts can look dreadful because they are too long in the 'body' and will make you appear to have stunted legs.

    Apart from that, they impede the swing of the kilt's pleats! That is why kilt jackets are no longer than just below the hip, or to the bottom of the 'fell' (the point where the kilt's pleats hang free from being stitched).

    Just a friendly word of warning!!

    Kilted at a Benefit

    I'd second Hamish on the jacket - I team up my black heavyweight kilt with a black Argyle jacket for court duty.
