When you look at kilt jackets, like argylls or crails etc, you are basically looking at the same jackets. They generally all have the same military inspired epaletts, pointy three button pocket flaps, chrome or bone buttons, black barathea or woolly tweeds, etc. basically just different cuffs.
I have for a few years thought that I would like a kilt cut jacket and waistcoat, without all those details, just plain pocket flaps, no epaletts, straight cuffs, self colored buttons. Design-wise this is not a new idea or anything, it's pretty much like the ones you see Prince Charles wear, or really what you see when folks modify a suit jacket for kiltwear.
Fabric wise, I'd think similar colors to what we're used to in kilt jackets, only in suiting fabric weights suited to American climates.
