La Maison does not seem to have this for sale (at least without asking), but it is really what I want in a kilt jacket. Other kilt makers take note, we need a jacket like this for more casual wear (and under $200 please).
Make mine charcoal grey.

Hi Adam,
Just to clarify the situation somewhat: when I had received the Randonée Bretonne kilt from La Maison du Kilt, I wrote to Richard du Clos (the boss) to thank him for it. He immediately replied with a photo of himself wearing a brown cord jacket and waistcoat which, it seems, he had designed for himself to wear with the same tartan. He asked if I would be interested in having a similar one and, of course, I just had to say "Yes, please!" (or "Oui, s'il vous plaît!"). The cost was 250 Euros which, I think, is very reasonable. This jacket has never been offered through the Maison du Kilt website and I would not like to say whether mine was a one-off or not. It might have been.
Why not contact Richard and ask him about it, saying that you have seen the photo of mine?
