    Brian,

    It sounds like a fine outfit. Since you have a while till September I would keep an eye out for an inexpensive (or second hand store or ebay ) tweed jacket or other simple wool sport coat . They can be modified into a fine kilt jacket by a tailor for about $80 (or yourself for nothing). There are numerous threads on X Marks about it.

    Here is Alan H.'s site with steps for the do it your-selfer

    Having an argyle or crail style kilt jacket is really useful as they can be dressed up or down as suits the occassion.

    That said, I think vests and kilts can look great together without a jacket.



    Cheers
