    I assume you have seen this one? Quite pricey, but your size at least....

    Have you seen this Folkwear pattern for kilt and Prince Charlie? It is no better or worse than the Simplicity pattern.

    But really if it is all the Argyle jacket pattern that you are looking for almost any single button, two rear vent jacket pattern will work.
    You just do the same as someone who starts with a sport coat and cuts it off in length and cuts the sporran curve.

    If you like the gauntlet cuffs those are simple to add.

    That's essentially what my wife did when she made herself an argyle-inspired jacket. She used a regular pattern which fit her, adjusted the bottom and added the detailing on the cuffs and pocket flaps. The most important thing, naturally, is that the jacket fits you well, the rest is pretty much just detailing. There is, however, an awful lot of "stuff" built into the typical sport coat to give it the proper shape and body - layers of various materials hidden inside. You may be able to get away without some of it on a home-built jacket, but not all of it if you want a good fit with crisp lines.

    She used Cheviot tweed with lapel facings from our Dalgliesh tartan.

    I’ve got that pattern, if you’re not in a huge hurry I’ll bring it to Kilt Kamp and post it to you from Canada?
    I just have to check what size I have.
