    This Jacket Is Like A Mail Order Bride

    Guys, it only closes (buttons) on the bottom button, and it has a mega tendency to ride up over the back of the kilt while the front gaps open like Alfred E. Newman's buck teeth. If you are built like a flamenco dancer (tall and thin with no butt) it would look good with trousers/trews. But if you are anything but a size 38 Long, it will look awkward at best.

    I've seen it worn by a thick set fellow in a kilt, and it looked dreadful. Just like the mail order bride he got off another website. Just plain ugly.

    Hmm.... Now that I can actually get a good look at the jacket (better monitor at home than at work, so I can actually see it), I stand corrected and agree with Rathdown.

    As others have already said, there are probably better options.

    Wow.... Brutal! Funny, but brutal!
