Eton Jacket modification Status

Cavscout and all Others,

I will be going on a cruise in Nov. and am trying to figure out a way to wear my kilt that won't breal my budget. The Eton jacket on the Uniformalwearhouse.com website has a shawl collar, rather than a regular lapel.

How do you think the shawl collar would adapt for use with a kilt? I know it's not a P.C., but the pricing is attractive.

And the budget is thin.

Thanks for your help and suggestions. If I could look anyhere near as good as Cavscout looks I wold truly be a happy man.

Cheers,

Just fine! Compare tuxedos at any black-tie event: some will have notch lapels, some will have shawl collars. I'm an old fogie, so mine have shawl collars---both the one I bought last year, and the one I bought used in 1970. My guess is that the Eton jacket will fit right in.
