    Twwed jacket conversion pics wanted

    I know this is short notice, but I was really hoping that some of you that have modified a tweed sport jacket for kilt wear can post pictures of the BACK of the jackets. I plan to take my Goodwill jacket to the tailors tomorrow to talk about getting it converted. I plan to show them several pictures. The problem is, I've only been able to find pictures of the front of the jacket.

    Thanks in advance!

    This link might also help. This is a page our own Alan H. made about how to convert a jacket.

    http://www.geocities.com/alanhsails/...lt_jacket.html

    I printed out several pictures from it when I took my two jackets to the tailor to show what I wanted. My suggestion is that if it is at all possible to wear your kilt and sporran to help them mark the jacket properly for shortening.

    Good luck and please post a before and after picture!

    Cheers
