What you want is a "tails" jacket". The little booklet "And so your
are going to wear the Kilt" tells you how to modify/cut down a "tails
jacket" into an evening dress jacket.

I'm sure you have had several people remind you of the Salvation Army and
Goodwill Stores. I don't know where you are but there are many second hand
stores where I live in California. Jean Bunch

Subject: [CAMPBELL] second hand kilt jackets
I'm looking for a source or sources of cheaper than dirt second
hand kilt
jackets. I'm trying to outfit a young man in a reasonably priced
formal
Highland outfit. So far, we have the kilt, hose, sporran, flashes, formal
shirt, bow tie, sgian dubh, etc. Now he needs the jacket. I'm toying with
the idea of haunting the second hand clothing stores in hopes of finding an
old black tux or the like that we could cut off and tailor into a kilt
jacket. We are looking for a men's size 40 or 42.
Can anyone point me in the right direction. Ebay is a bust, and I am
beginning to
exhaust my abilities on Internet searching. Please respond off
list. atheling(a)cox.net
Thanks!
