You don't say where you are located, Nick. For the best fit you really need to be measured by the tailor. Self-measuring, as with the kilt, is not bad (as a rule), but I'd get to the tailor if at all possible.
My recommendation: Geoffrey (Tailor) Ltd on Edinburgh's Royal Mile. I recently had them make me a GT Doublet - similar to the Montrose but it is single, rather than double, breasted - and it is absolutely the bee's knees; it's wonderful.
