Argyll Kilt Jacket

[KMacT]

OK if the jacket is altered... Off the peg, jackets made to be worn with trousers are far too long to be worn with a kilt.

I've been misunderstood! Or moreso, I wasn't being clear. This thread is about whether a certain type of material or certain types of buttons (for example) would be appropriate for certain settings (day, night, formal, informal...). My comment was that if you felt comfortable wearing a tweed jacket and pants to some occasion, then the same tweed, the same buttons et cetera would be fine with a kilt. I did not intend to say the "actual same jacket" would be fine with the kilt. Certainly not. I hope I am now being more clear.

It is my goal in life to be clear. Often clearly wrong, but clear nonetheless.

I also felt the black Argyle jacket with the silver buttons might be too dressy for many daytime occasions. After reading the opinions on this thread, I am thinking the grey tweed or the navy blue Argyle jacket with the silver buttons may be a good all around option. My kilt has a lot of navy blue in it, the navy blue might be the best choice for me.

Does anyone have a navy blue argyle or seen one worn?

this might be helpful, just got the Geoffrey(tailor), 21Centurykilts, brochure/catalogue which has the full size glossy colour pictures. It is arranged to show the different outfits plus when they would be appropriate: in this case "predominantly worn for formal daytime functions...with plain leather day sporran, coloured hose and a shirt and tie."
I ordered it about a little over a week ago from their website.
