    They look nice, but the chest measurements on them seem to be child-sized. 33" and 35". I don't see them being useful for anything other than a display.

    I just saw those and I agree with Tobus. Beautiful garments nonetheless. I'm sure Kinloch Anderson would love to have these (at least the Seaforth doublet) on display in their collection! They are also selling a rather nice sporran molach:
