    oh, I did manage to cause quite a stir. at the event I wore this too ( at a casino) a male guard approached at the end of the night to ask the question. I asked him "Who put you up to asking?" he replied "Every woman on the floor".

    I guess no one else thought it was too big either. The manager on the floor at the time was there when this happened. I told her she needed to put all the guys in kilts to get a huge increase in female traffic.



    she agreed.

    Looks fine to me. I really like the look of the saffron kilt with the black jacket.

    Yes, that Saffron looks great with the PC! I'm a no-belt-with-PC guy myself, but that looks fine...

    The oufit looks good. I would prefer it with no belt (but as long as you know the rule and are making a conscious choice that's fine). Your shoes don't look quite dressy enough for the PC emsemble. If you can manage to make some saffron flashes (maybe with black hose like Robin suggested) that would look smashing. All in all well done.

    Cheers

    To answer your original question ----

    The waist of the jacket is a little large. To re-cut it though would take a good tailor. Preferably one with experience making military uniforms.

    It would entail taking in the side and back seams. Don't touch the front at all.
    The placement of the shoulders seems perfect. It just needs a little tweeking in the curved side and back seams.

    If you're anywhere near a military base go see one of the tailors in the nearest town. Find one with a lot of mess dress jackets in his shop for work. This shop should be able to do the job very well.

    Honestly, I think it looks good and hangs well.
