What to wear?

To me, if it covers the pleats significantly, it looks sloppy. I've yet to get an Argyl myself, and I just don't have the guts to modify a blazer . . . although, now they are just kinda hanging lonesomely in the closet . . . . maybe I should reconsider modifying them.

You could go to your local thrift store. Find a cheap tweed jacket that fits the bill (it doesn't have even be your size) and practice on it before trying one of your own jackets. If you mess it up you are out $5-10 bucks and your time. Though you will learn. If you succeed, you could see if you could sell it on X Marks.*

Or just go to your local tailor shop with some pictures (both front and back of what you want. You should be able to have one shortened with the sporran cutaway, the slash pockets sewn shut, and pocket flaps installed to make them look higher up the jacket for about $50.

Cheers
