    wanting check tweed jacket

    I've often said on these boards that I love check tweed jackets, and that I favour acquiring vintage jackets, but that due to my size (50) finding vintage check tweed kilt jackets is virtually impossible.

    That being the case, I've been looking at check tweed fabric. I've found one tweed from a major supplier (Marton Mills) that I really like, and it's in a nice 15oz weight.

    Having found the fabric, what would be my next move? Who would you recommend to make the jacket?

    I would especially be interested if anyone has used that particular fabric.

    I believe that it was Steve Ashton who had posted about his visit a while back to the small firm that makes most of the kilt jackets sold by various shops. I suppose I could try contacting them and see what route they recommend. (EDIT: just tried their given phone number, and a contact email I found online, and neither bore results.)
