    Depends on your size of course,

    When making an 18th Century regimental coat, which is a bit longer than a Kilt jacket, the coat, minus linings, for a 36 chest is 2 yards, for a 52 chest, its 3 1/2 yards.

    Other considerations are do you want a full fabric back or some lesser cloth on the waistcoat?


    Without knowing you and your sizes, I would say 5 yards is the safest bet to ensure you have enough cloth.
