Poacher Tweed Jacket & Waistcoat

That kyle, is a very good question. On Usa Kilts site it is recommended that you may want to go up a size. I went up from 44 to 46 as I has ordered jackets from the UK in the past and they were a firm fit. I guess I am a true 45, so if I want something, "Off the Rack " so as to speak, then it's a comprimise either way ( USAK jackets are supplied by StKilda and a 44 that I ordered several years ago from Stkilda was the one that was a firm fit)

If you are 42R with jackets made in the UK in the the past and a 42R with sports jackets made in the USA, I would probably go with the 42R.

I would suggest you chat with your supplier to get their idea on the sizing of the jackets they sell

All the best with the purchase

Thank you for the advice, mate! I am ordering my new jackets from Rocky at USA Kilts. I sent him a quick e-mail to see if he had a size chart, so I can compare the measurements with that of Kinloch's 'off-the-peg' jackets.

Thanks again,

Here's the sizing info we're going to put on the new site (once it goes live):

For the number part of the jacket size:

This measurement is best taken using a cloth tape measure, while wearing a t-shirt.
Lift up your arms and wrap the tape measure around your chest at the widest point (you can then put your arms down).
Breathe "normally" and don't over inflate or exhale too much.
Take the measurement (not snug) at the widest part of your chest.
Add 2" to 3" to that number to reach the next "even" number up. Example: If you measure 43 to 44, you would order a size 46. If you measure 41 or 42, you would order a size 44.


If you don't know the length (i.e. Short / Regular / Long), then please use this general guide:

5' 4" to 5' 9" - Short
5' 10" to 6' 2" - Regular
6' 3" to 6' 7" - Long
