Having a jacket made from a standard tailor...

[MacMillan of Rathdown]

It seems I miss read your post. I thought you were having a regular three-piece suit made, but with Highland cuffs, pocket flaps, etc. Giving it a second reading it seems as though you want a tweed kilt jacket and waistcoat with matching tweed trousers. That being the case, the easiest way to overcome the problem of getting the jacket right would be to do what I did: search ebay for the Simplicity Pattern for a Scottish day wear jacket, buy it, and give it to your tailor.

Not quite.

This tailor specializes in custom suits, and wedding attire.

He sized the 12" drop in my size-58 Argyle.

He told me he could do a cut-down tweed kilt jacket and waistcoat for a good price.

So yeah, not looking for a tweed suit, looking for a kilt jacket in tweed that is more "Civilian" cut. I'm going to follow Downunder's suggestion to take pictures of HRH to the tailor.

Yes. Go for it. Here's a link to a Harris tweed weaver that your tailor might want to consider.
