No, you don't need a jacket to wear a kilt, but sometimes you need or just want to. You can usually tell if a jacket was converted or not, but so what? If you can find a tailor who can do the work well enough, or if you do it yourself, and if you don't mind the pockets being low, why not? Is it ideal? No, if you can afford a new kilt jacket or can get one from eBay, then do that, but if you cannot a conversion, to me, is an acceptible option. Just my opinion.
    Fair enough. A question was asked , assorted opinions have been offered, there is no obligation to agree with them.
