If you are good at reading 19th century pattern books, there is this: http://www.costumes.org/HISTORY/vict...ages/13_22.htm and this http://www.costumes.org/HISTORY/vict...ages/13_23.htm

There is also McCall's M4745. It's an American Civil War era uniform that looks as if it too could be easily modified into a Montrose.

You might also take a look at this thread http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/c...x.html?t=31665 that started a discussion about jacket patterns.

There was another thread that wasn't optomistic about easily making a nice looking kilt jacket.
I like ithe pattern 133...I may use it almost as is...cropped of course to look good with a kilt....

perhaps even a doublet vest in leather

Thanks for the links!!
