Thanks for the advice, i saw the tutorials, I do not know my way around a sewing machine, I was hoping to find someone that could do the work for me, and I could pay them.

I believe some members have taken jackets to a tailor, shown them pictures of what a kilt jacket should look like, and had good results...

Yesterday I bought a nice coat, almost exactly the same as the one in this article: http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...-jacket-48693/, at Goodwill. Today I trimmed off and hemmed the bottom of the jacket. I figure it will be wearable enough for now, but when I have some free time next (between making Christmas gifts and attending online traffic school) I'd like to tackle the epaulettes and sleeve patches. Thanks again for the instructions and the links to them!
