Jacket patterns

[Erisianmonkey]

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

I can damn well learn, that is almost exactly what I want in a kilt jacket, and can be adapted to what I want. Thanks, man!

EDIT TO ADD: Okay, I've had a really good look at that site. I am over the moon! WOW!!!! There are so many good things about that book I just cant say. Several of the other patterns can be adapted to kilt wear and they even have a pattern "for the corpulent!" Being as I am the size of a small car, this just rocks my world, as most people have no idea what a pain in the pleats it is trying to adapt patterns made for a thin man for use on a fat one-this book has it built in. And being able to download the book in PDF rocks as I can blow it up to whatever size I need to read the little inscriptions in the illustrations!


@Nighthawk: Who gave you trouble about an Eton jacket? I seem to recall that several of our members here have Eton jackets that they wear with their kilts. In fact, while I don't feel like doing a search on that, I know it's the case, because I still trip on over to uniformalwearhouse.com on occasion to think about getting one myself when I get the money- and I know that I found out about that site here.
