Traditional Kilt/Contemporary Formal Jacket

We've been talking about Eton jackets over in another thread. This would be paired with a three button waistcoat and bowtie for the formal outfit. You might not need to have the silver buttons.

It could also be converted into a mess jacket without too much trouble.
Hope that helps.

I like the thought of an Eton Jacket - very clean lines. Are they typically cut high enough to show off the kilt?

Edit: OK, I found the link to the other thread you mentioned. I think this may be just what I'm looking for. Thanks.

Oh, good. That thread is very helpful. I apologize for not posting a link, but I got a phone call and had to just hit the button. For future reference here is the link.
