I'm a pretty big guy. I have 3 custom made kilt jackets, 2 off the rack, 1 PC and 2 that I had tailored down from tweed sport coats.

I wear the ones that started life as sport coats more than all the rest. Look for my photos on the discussion about which hat to wear.

The coat in that foto, coast $8 at a thrift shop and I paid a tailor $45 to cut it down as discribed maney places on this board.

Before you spend $300 or more, I suggest that you go that route!
