Argyll Jackets

[McRod]

I am thinking of purchasing two Argyll jackets,1 tweed and 1 black, from scottishthemes.com Have any one used this company, if so what was the service like. I have never bought clothing over the net before and they seem'd to have what i need at a resonable price, [of the rack, but thats ok] even cheaper than here in Australia [ imported or made to measure ]the 2 jackets will cost $666.80au, if you have any other sugestions as where i can go shopping, i would be grateful for them :-D

P.S. I dont understand the sizing, 38 short, 38 regular. Helpings please

I believe short/regular refers to length of sleeves. Beware, though: you need to check a conversion table for sizes (just to be on the safe side)

In Norway I wear jacket size 56, but ordering from the UK (United Kingdom, not the other abbreviation used by this forum...) I take size 46 (!!)

Pop in to a men's clothing store and have the vital measurements taken - and try on jacket sizes to find out what is comfortable - a regular tuxedo/suit jacket works fine for trying out sizes.

McRod, The S, R & L on the jacket size indicate the length of the sleeve. For example, I stand about 6' and my chest is 42". My sleeve length for my dress shirts is 34-35. When I order a jacket I order a 42L. Check your sleeve length and let them know or have a tailor do the measurement for you. Good luck wtih the jackets.

scottishthemes.com and scottishkilts.net are both owned by the same parent company. .net has the argyle slightly cheaper this week, so you may want to buy it there

McRod,

the number indicates your chest size, in inches. Simply convert to centimetres. Multiply inches by 2.54. As mentioned by others, S, R and L refer to sleeve length. Most take a Regular, over 6 feet normally a Long, under about 5'5" (165cm) a Short.
