Recently I made myself a white jacket for the summer months when lighter garments are not enough but winter weight is too heavy. It seemed the obvious thing to do, though I will have to make another one in white and dye the original a shade of pale coffee in all but one place on the front......

Although I have societies permission to wear a wider range of colours and styles being on the distaff side, I do tend to add frills and femininity to my attire with kilts. I also tend to experiment. My take on the white jacket will probably include a natural white Tilley hat and be worn with sandals, so not all that appropriate for most kilt wearers, but it should prove a comfortable outfit for those days when the wind is blowing the red dust in from the Sahara - something which does happen here from time to time.

The short white jacket does seem to be a good adjunct to a dark kilt - it might even go well with a dress tartan with white in its description.
