They also made it "long" though I didn't ask for that.
When I contacted them they said custom orders couldn't be returned.
Possibly better to order through local shop like you did, perhaps the shop knew how to phrase the order to get St Kilda to make the correct size.
Well, I ordered my jacket and vest made to measure directly from the St. Kilda website last Monday. I followed their measuring guide, but after reading this I am a bit worried about the fit. I wonder if it is too late to provide them with additional instructions to insure a good fit.
