Need some advice...daywear (shirt, vest, jacket)

Yes, it is Argyll or Argyle, the latter being a more contemporary or American spelling.

As for "going with" your kilt. As long as your ensemble matches and you're not clashing with the kilt I'd say you're good to go.


How is this done? Doesn't it leave the old slit visible?

I am not an expert,nor a tailor, so...

You might be starting with a jacket having patch pockets, and reduce them in depth by about half, then re attach them higher on the jacket.

If there are slit pockets, one could make patch pockets from the material taken off the bottom of the jacket. These cover the slits.

It is also possible to make longer-than-normal flaps to extend over the original pocket slits- right at the ends of the flaps.

Hope that makes sense; I am not good at making sense either...

You make perfect sense to me. ty
