Made to measure jacket recommendations
I'm looking to have a kilt jacket made. I'm thinking either a braemar or argyle cuff in tweed or barathea. I was thinking having St. Kildas make it, but I would love any other recommendations the Rabble may have.

Probably, not the most convenient for you or a less expensive option, but I do not hesitate to recommend Campbell's of Beauley.

My recommendation would be USA Kilts, especially if it's your first, simply because they can walk you through the process from start to finish. Great people over there. I believe their tailor is Gaelic Themes in Glasgow.
Richard had a great experience with St. Kilda's recently. They seem to have an excellent collection of options.

I’ve talked with USA Kilts recently, and it appears they no longer do custom orders.

I’ve bought a number of MTM jackets from St Kilda, over the years; one of them quite recently (and quite customised, too). They are great to deal with. The web site still seems to include MTM.

I believe St Kilda’s Store and Gaelic Themes are the same entity. I have several jackets from them.

I had a very good experience with Yuen Tailors: http://www.yuenstailor.com/.
The jacket was custom rather than MTM. And Hong Kong is not very convenient to visit at the moment, with the Covid quarantine rules. But their work is very good, and the price is relatively reasonable.

I had a jacket and waistcoat made to my size by Kilts4Less. I selected a Harris Tweed and they made and shipped the jacket.

Overall I was pleased, although the jacket arrived much too large for some reason. In the U.S. I wear a size 40R and I ordered a size 41R but was enormous in the waist and I had to have my tailor take in the sides quite a bit, as well as shorten the sleeves.

new jacket
Splendid job! That looks great with your kilt and the hose and shoes work very well indeed.
