UK kilt jacket sizing!??????
Some time ago I had asked Xmembers about ordering a kilt jacket, and how to size it. Many responded by saying to go up a size because UK items were cut a bit small, e.g. if you wear a 40R then go to a 42R.
Well, I did that and I've had mixed results. I normally wear a 42R, but ordered an Argyll in 44R. The jacket fits decent enough, but the waistcoat is HUGE.....I think it was marked wrong. So, I ended up selling the waistcoat and reordering one in 42. Now it's fine. I, then, proceeded to order a tweed jacket in a 40R, as the dimensions were the same as my 42R. I figured that if it didn't fit, I could give it to my son. To my surprise, it fits wonderfully. Go figure!!??
Also, my Brian Boru jacket is a 44R and it fits well enough, but I honestly think I could have gotten away with a 42. I guess it pays, before ordering, to get the dimensions. I'm learning!
Has anyone else on this forum had discrepancies like this?
