I apologise for the way I came across. I am not critisizing you, what I am wondering is why there seems to be this idea that an outerwear jacket needs to be kilt specific. I can't see any reason that a jacket or coat that works with pants won't work with a kilt. I grew up wearing kilts and the most common jacket I saw was a Barbour waxed jacket and they looked just fine. It was also the Royal family's choice.
They also provide a certain amount of protection for the kilt itself. Which is a good thing since there is a lot of material in a kilt to get wet. For dress I like my inverness cape but before I had one my regular overcoat worked just fine. My point is that I think it is fine to wear a jacket or coat that works as opposed to limiting oneself to a short jacket like a bomber.
So if I was to make a suggestion it would be a Barbour Waxed Jacket with a lining for the cold.

Let's not get drastic now.
