I found a couple more threads about sports jacket conversions.
Farlander's thread, "Converting a tweed sport coat to a Crail jacket"
http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/c....html?p=496170
David Dalglish's thread on the curved front at this link.
http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/j...x.html?t=22201
Both of which are helpful. It turns out that I will have to find a different person to help me with my jacket conversion. I have the jacket and have been trying it on with the kilt and sporran. I think I have a good idea of where the bottomm of the jacket should be and where the cut away for the sporran should be. The vest seems like it might be a little bit too tight, so I might hold off on that part untill I find more information on what a vest is supposed to be like for a kilt. It's too tight to fit over the top of the kilt. It would need to be shorter in the front to not stick out from under the converted jacket anyway. I'll try to find a better way to ask the vest question, then post it.
Here are some good threads by Alan H

I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
