Christmas Kilt?

[Panache]

mexpiper,

It looks pretty good. I look forward to seeing how your jacket comes out after you finish the buttons. I advise replacing the vest buttons as well. I just had a similar jacket converted and with the help of some X Markers got my formal look sorted out. Here's the thread:

Thats how I got the idea. I looked at your post!
I thought that there was mention somewhere on her on how to actually shorten the tux with tails. I looked at your picture and figured that the cut off the tails where your hands where in your picture, showing the back!!

I cheated and sewed the tails up, with out cutting it (yet). It took about 4 hours hand sewing and replacing the buttons. Tonight is the vest!

Thanks everyone for the comments. i do plan on wearing black hose.

Here's a picture of a Prince Charlie waistcoat, perhaps it useful when you alter yours (it has 3 small buttons)

Good luck!
