Kilt Jackets

[Kiltboy]

I got lucky and found a beautiful Harris Tweed jacket at my local thrift store. And it was my size. Score! Looks great with my Black Watch too.

Tip: Wear your kilt when you go shopping. You'll know immediately if a jacket works with it.

I picked up a charcoal Harris tweed at the local thrift shop for under $10, had it converted by a local tailor for about $80 and it goes very well with my Black Watch.

Looking at "real" or store bought kilt jackets they all have double vents on the back. The jackets I've converted were chosen with that in mind. Does it Matter? I personally think then lay better over the pleats. Finding a nice Harris tweed with them is not too easy, but worth thr search.

GREAT tip! Maybe obvious, but I wouldn't have thought of it necessarily. Thanks!

You can get a black or charcoal grey jacket and make a more formal jacket, or get a nice check Harris tweed for an outdoor jacket.

For some reason kilt jackets are usually plain tweed or check tweed or windowpane tweed. I can't remember seeing jackets which were originally made as kilt jackets in herringbone tweed.

I have several herringbone tweed kilt jackets. One is a good 50 years old, too.
