Your inquiry comes up every so often and you'll get a lot of pictures and links showing you jacket possibilities.
A lot of this has to do with your personal style and, to a lesser degree, I think, you build. Some guys can pull off a hoodie and look great and some guys wear one and look like a badly packed bag of potatoes...some guys look dashing in one type of jacket while others look like they're trying to wear their dad's clothes. Not that I'm trying to be mean here but you have to go with your strengths here and accentuate the positive and e-liminate the negative.
Best plan is to go to the military surplus store of Kohl's or Penney's or Sears or wherever and just try some stuff on. It's sort of a rule of thumb that one doesn't want something that's too long but there are a lot of things that are slightly longer than waist length out there that'll look good.
I see a lot of jackets that are aimed at the younger and more stylish set (?) and are styled like military tunics and I figger that a couple of them would be good with the kilt. I was drawn to one in a store at the mall and would have grabbed it but then I looked at the price tag (or should I say the OVER-priced tag). Problem with these tunic-y jackets, though, is that they don't seem to make anything larger than a men's size 44...as I said, aimed at the younger set.
But a good shopping trip will probably yield better and more personally suitable results.
