Nicely done, and a very well put together outfit.
Normally I'm undecided when it comes to epaulets,
but I think they would look perfect on that jacket.

Ron, no one will ever now that's a conversion, and I'll bet that everytime you wear it, someone will want to know where you got it since it doesn't look like off-the-wall jackets one sees everywhere.

My wife got me a sewing machine for Christmas, so maybe I can catch up to you one day.

Great job!

Great looking jacket! It works well with your kilt. I wish I had the guts to give that a try.

The whole ensemble (I need to learn how to say that like the snobby people do) looks great. The color choices, the - well everything!

It looks great! Good job!!

I am with you on this. For my jacket conversion, the sleeves and buttons may have been the most difficult part to get right. I now understand why I pay a pro to make the adjustments on a new jacket or sports coat.
