Last night, I pinned up a very dark gray suit jacket and waistcoat to kilt lenghth. The suit doesn't have well matching trousers, and I just bought three new used suits from good will that will meet my suit needs. That opens up this ill-matched suit for conversion. It is an otherwise good jacket and waistcoat with fairly good interfacing and structuring inside including floating hair canvas shields in the shoulders. It should make a good, dressy kilt jacket if I do a good job with the conversion.
Tired, yes, but glad I don't have to worry about finding matching trousers for that suit, and the suit I bought to replace it is a bit nicer too.

I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
