Hello Rabble! Wife and I went to a BSA fundraising event last night with my dad and stepmom, aunt and uncle, and several other acquaintances from my scouting days. Here's some pics of the evening.

Some after-dinner coffee.

By the way, I made the kilt jacket from a normal 2-button suit separate jacket that I bought on the sale rack with a matching 5 button vest. Conversion took 4.5 hours...probably could have done it faster, but it was completely hand sewn during the reassembly process, as I didn't want to top-stitch it using a sewing machine. It is a center vent jacket that I considered converting to a side-vented jacket, but it was just more trouble than I felt like getting into...so I kept it a center vent. Happy with the finished product all the same. I replaced the buttons as well with some burled-cherry looking buttons that I feel look really nice against the grey.
