Thank you, MacMillan of Rathdown . That looks like an exelent company.

They do small order, custom work, and that is a second option especially if you are not able to do it yourself. Here's the link again.

* It's also been suggested to look at tuxedo rental stores for used Eton and mess jackets that are being sold. I guess it's the concept of wearing an Eton jacket with a kilt that seems to be important. You don't have to get the uniformal Eton if you can afford better.

campbell,

If you have one, you should post a picture of your ensemble. I too admit that the cost of a kilt jacket is daunting. If the outfit you assembled looks smart it doesn't matter where the components came from.

That said, I wouldn't knock "real" kilt jackets (by this I only mean jackets made intended to be worn with kilts). They look great with kilts because that is exactly what they are designed to do.

Cheers

Let's not leave this option out either, meinfs.

The Eton jacket isn't really a PC, it's probably closer to the Brian Boru jacket, or the mess jacket. As I read up on this subject, the advice seems to be to make the Eton into a formal jacket rather than to try to make it into a fake PC.
I've also seen advice from some of the members in this thread to buy a used Eton jacket from a tuxedo rental shop and change the buttons. You have lots of options and can bump it up to what you are able to afford.
