    Can they really be modified 'easily' to a kilt jacket?

    It's such a great deal I may buy one just 'because'-but if it could be modified, at a reasonable price, it would be even better

    Do a search on jacket conversions and you should come up with a thread or two. I know that Chattancat has done a few for other xmarkers who have been satisfied with the result. Not sure who else is handy with a needle in regards jackets, though, but the search may help you find out.

    I bought at least one (of the three I bought) with the intention of having it converted, but want to make sure the colors don't clash with my kilts before taking the secondary modification plunge. Either way, how can you go wrong with a $64 genuine Harris Tweed sportcoat (I already purchased a couple when they were at a higher price and love them---very comfy and cozy, like wrapping yourself in a warm blanket but only looking better.
