Modern suit and sport jacket styles with kilts
Let's see what we might get out of this...
Guitarmatt posted an awesome link in the Kilts in the Media forum which I think is worth a repost here:

I picked up a sport coat the other day...first one in the closet that's actually mine and not a hand-me-down...and the guys helping me had a lot of suggestions for really making the kit look good. Bear in mind the "kit" I'm talking about is a pair of Artful Dodgers and some Frye's as opposed to a kilt, sporran and Docs/GBs/random kicks...but I thought the suggestions they had, in general, would work just as well with a kilt.
Also, the same website Matt posted had this article:
http://permanentstyle.blogspot.com/2...ifference.html
Which only lead to more kilted pondering, as I considered not only the silhouette of a well-cut jacket, but things like the thickness of the turndown on a pair of hose, or a hose top, bulk of calf compared to knee, and the contrast between our rough, dirty, hairy, scarred, sometimes bloody, knees (what we show with a kilt) and the smooth skin of a woman's thigh (what she shows with a skirt). We got a lot to consider...pants seem so much easier. That's a tangent, tho, I really wanted to talk about sport jackets and shirts.
The style the guys were showing me was a dress shirt with a sleeve slightly longer than I'm used to, allowing the option of keeping it buttoned, or opening the cuff and rolling it back over the jacket to expose a cuff liner which contrasts with the body of the shirt.
Does anyone wear this style with their kilt? How do you guys think it would look?
Let's see where this goes. I'm interested in talking about any of the stuff I've mentioned here, not just the jacket/cuff style. It'd be a great entry to this thread, I think, if it works:
