Let me know what you think. I've been considering calling them and asking for a quote.

David,

WOW!!! What an awesome website! I absolutely love the different bespoke options Bookster offers - especially the tweed colours and styles. I really like the tweed with the bold red stripes (Gelly Tweed)! I would love to know if they would be willing to create a jacket to be made for Highland day wear - one could easily purchase the staghorn buttons and simply send them to Bookster, of course, if one wants the staghorn buttons, otherwise the buttons Bookster already offers are perfectly acceptable and look smart. Man, just another website to "jones" over!!! Thanks David-hahahaha!

Are you going to inquire? Perhaps the cost would come down a bit since less of the tweed fabric would be used for a kilt jacket. I would want mine with matching waistcoat. Just a superb website mate, thank you for sharing...times like these, I truly wish I had indispensable funds solely for Highland attire!

Slainte,

I have several Bookster jackets and can vouch for their quality and the generally satisfactory attitude of the company. I have wondered about having them make a kilt jacket, but haven't gotten around to it. While their prices are pretty good, they are by no means cheap and my budget has its clear limits. I suspect you'd pay a small premium over their usual price. They are good people and will do whatever they can to help a customer. Be sure to check out their Harris Tweed Tartan fabrics.

Thanks for the insight. I'll try to get in touch with them over the next week or so just to check.
