    Normally a black suit jacket. But they're too long for a kilt. I suppose I could have one altered.

    Aye, I didn't even consider the Argyll, I'll have to look into one.

    That is the key - Go to a thrift store, or rental place and spend about $12.00 on a nice dark jacket, then go to a local tailor and with the great amount of info on this fourm, have it converted - - - you should be able to get it done for around $30.00! So you will end up with a very nice jacket for well less than $50.00.

    Any regular sport jacket and most suit jackets can easily be converted to kilt wear!

    I dropped into a thrift store in Palm Springs the other day, and picked up a tweed jacket that I can wear with my kilts for $5. My wife found a kilted skirt for $1.50. Sometimes the good karma bleeds through the bad....
