Yet another jacket question

[Kid Cossack]

. . . which is how my Russian wife has taught me to say "Thank you!" Muchly appreciated, Hamish. The weather lately has been around 35 degrees during the day (Celsius, not Fahrenheit) and humidity around 90 percent. That makes an otherwise lovely woolen jacket a bit much to bear!

Also, I saw your video clip on sweeping the pleats, linked from Matt Newsome's blog---very good job, sir.

Hey Kid,

You might try talking to some of the kiltmakers who hand sew kilts. Kathy Lare measured me up for a jacket, for when I can afford one...would guess, she, or other kiltmakers would be happy to sew a jacket up in whatever it is you want/need. Can't hurt to ask.

Have you seen Alan H's site for modifying a jacket? Even if your sewing ability is zilch it'll still give an idea of what can be done plus refer a tailor to.
