Measuring Instructions
STOCK Size measuring instructions:
The vast majority of our customers fit into a jacket that is a stock size (i.e. 44 Reg or 48 Long). To figure out which size will fit you best, follow the instructions below.
Chest 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.
Short / Regular / Long5' 4" to 5' 9" - Short
5' 10" to 6' 1" - Regular
6' 2" to 6' 4" -LongIf you are taller than 6'4", contact us for an Extra Long or Extra Extra long.
MADE TO MEASURE Jacket instructions:
If you find that standard jacket sizes don't fit your frame due to an overly athletic build (very broad shoulders with tiny waist) or a stout build (rounded shoulders with a large waist), then we can gladly make a jacket tailored to your frame. We will need the following measurements, as well as your height and 3 pictures of you in a form fitting shirt from the front, side and rear view.
Chest
Lift your arms and wrap the tape measure around your torso at the widest point. Put your arms down. Stand tall and "at ease". Do not over inflate your chest. Just stand and breathe normally. Measure loosely around the chest at under arm height while wearing a t-shirt.
Waist
Measure loosely around your "True Waist" at your naval while wearing a shirt.
Half Back
Put on a well fitting suit jacket. Keep your arms at your side. Find the center back, center seam, starting at 6" below the collar. Measure from that point to the seam where the arm meets the jacket body (roughly 4" down from the shoulder). If you do not have a suit jacket, measure from the spine (4" below base of neck) to the edge of your shoulder.
Sleeve Length
Put on a well fitting suit jacket. Keep your arms at your side. Measure from the shoulder seam (the top of the sleeve where it meets the jacket body) to the cuff. If you do not have a suit jacket, measure from the edge of the shoulder, down your arm to where you'd like the sleeve to end. Typically, jacket sleeves end 1.5" to 2" above the base knuckle of the thumb, breaking at the wrist or slightly lower. Roughly 1/4" to 1/2" of shirt sleeve should show below the cuff of the jacket.

Price Value Quality The fit, the workmanship and the material were impeccable. The appearance is dressy and distinctive. I am totally satisfied and I look forward to occasions to wear the vest and the jacket. (Posted on 1/30/2023) - Great Jacket / Waistcoat Combo Cascadia Craig

Price Value Quality A great jacket and waistcoat combo that looks awesome with the kilt. As USA Kilts mention in their description of the product, the jacket runs small by American standards. However, I followed their directions for the proper size and I received a jacket with a perfect fit. I highly recommend it when you want to wear a kilt in a formal setting.

Value Quality Price Both the jacket and vest came shipped in a cardboard box and required dry cleaning but by no means are they cheap in quality. Fantastic material, buttons and sizing. Zero complaints and looks great for a formal event. (Posted on 9/24/2022) - Great Customer Service That Guy

Price Value Quality I had a couple of events pop up and needed a jacket quick. The in-stock Argyll Jacket and Vest combo was on sale, so I went with that. It arrived in plenty of time to have alterations done. To my surprise, both items fit great right out of the bag. I followed their advice and went one size larger.
No alterations necessary and I'm all set for my parades. Thank you. (Posted on 5/10/2022) - Follow the instructions and you won't be disappointed Brooks

Price Value Quality I was a little nervous about the "order up a size" instructions, but I did, and my Argyll jacket and vest fit perfectly, straight out of the bag. Customer service was outstanding, and the quality of the jacket is hard to beat without going to a tailor (at 4x the price). I will be back to USA Kilts for ALL of my highland attire needs, and I'll be happy to do so. Could not be happier with the product or the people. (Posted on 11/17/2021) - Excellent Montana Don

Value Quality Price I was unsure about buying a coat and vest off the rack since most of my clothing is tailored. To my great surprise, the fit was perfect in the shoulders, waist and sleeve length. The quality was equally excellent. And I didn't have to wait 8 - 10 weeks for it to arrive. Got it within the week of order. (Posted on 11/16/2021) - Mixed bag J.T.

Quality Price Value Based on the site's admonition to size up because the jacket and vest run small, I ordered a 44 rather than the 42 I normally wear. When the 44 jacket and vest arrived, rather than being the good fit I'd expected, the garments were really, REALLY oversized. In consequence, they were returned for a 42, which I'm now waiting on. In addition, though I'm taking into account the fact that these garments are designed to fit the largest number of customers possible and that they likely will only be worn for a wedding or for Halloween, I found the fit to be a little 'off' compared with what I'm used to in an off-the-rack jacket. Basically, the body had a kind of boxy fit and the sleeves were large enough in diameter that they could easily accommodate a body builder's biceps.

Price Value Quality The jacket and vest a beautifully constructed and of high quality material. The pictures really do not do these justice. I am very pleased!
As for customer service, I cannot say enough good. I ordered mine, recieved it quickly, and found ti to be a bit too large. I contacted USAKilts, spoke with them, and was able to exchange for a smaller size, not problems. Again, you have earned a lifelong customer.

Price Value Quality Received my ne argyle jacket a vest combo today. I love it. Can't wait to shoe it off for the first time. A perfect combination to compete my Highland wear dress kit. By following the measurement direction the coat and vest fit perfectly. As always, service was way above expectations. Special thanks to Lucas for his kindness and courteous service. You can always depend on USA Kilts. (Posted on 3/22/2021) - Good Product Destin Scot

Price Value Quality The site is correct on ordering the next larger size from your normal coat/jacket size. Good fit. Well made. Good alternative to the PC jacket and vest. (Posted on 1/20/2021)

Buyers Guide
PLEASE NOTE: Our jackets are made in the UK and tend to run a bit snug. If you normally wear a suit size 44 Reg, order a 46 Reg. If you wear a 48 Long, order a 50 Long.
Formality of Jacket Styles Guide:
There are several different styles of jackets (and vests) which span the scale from daywear to formal. This is a quick guide to our jackets and their appropriate level of dress.
Prince Charlie jacket and vest:
The Prince Charlie jacket and vest (also known as a PC Jacket) is worn for formal (black tie) events. In your mind, equate this jacket to a ‘tuxedo’ type outfit. Places you’d wear a tuxedo, a PC would be appropriate.
Argyll jacket (with or without vest):
This is one of the more versatile jackets. It’s a bit dressier than a Tweed jacket and less formal than a PC. In a situation calling for khakis and a blazer, the jacket (no vest) could be worn with the kilt and not be overdressed. When worn with the vest, the outfit could be worn in place of a ‘nice suit’. Also, the vest provides a bit of versatility in itself… you can wear it alone with a shirt and tie or leave off the tie and roll up your sleeves for a casual dressy look.
Tweed jacket (with or without vest):
Very similar in cut and style to the Argyll, this jacket and vest is made from tweed cloth, giving it a little bit of an ‘earthy’ or ‘natural’ feel. In Scotland, it’s still often worn to dressy functions (much like the Argyll), but here in America, we often relegate tweed jackets to ‘daywear’. That NEED NOT be the case. If you’re going to be a guest at a wedding, you would look perfectly fine in a tweed jacket and vest.
Brian Boru jacket and vest:
The Brian Boru jacket and vest is effectively the Irish equivalent of a Prince Charlie (see above)… it is worn for formal (black tie) events. In your mind, equate this jacket to a ‘tuxedo’ type outfit. Places you’d wear a tuxedo, you can wear a Brian Boru.
Kilkenny jacket (with or without vest):
The Kilkenny jacket and / or vest is effectively the Irish equivalent of an Argyll (see above). In a situation calling for khakis and a blazer, the jacket (no vest) could be worn with the kilt and not be overdressed. When worn with the vest, the outfit could be worn in place of a ‘nice suit’. Also, the vest provides a bit of versatility in itself… you can wear it alone with a shirt and tie or leave off the tie and roll up your sleeves for a casual dressy look.
Welsh Prince Charlie jacket and vest:
The Welsh PC jacket and vest are similar to their Scottish Prince Charlie counterpart, but differ in the details… they have gold buttons (not silver), red dragons embroidered on the epaulette and come with or without Welsh tartan accents. Like the Scottish PC jacket, they are worn for formal (black tie) events. In your mind, equate this jacket to a ‘tuxedo’ outfit. Places you’d wear a Tuxedo, you can wear a Welsh PC.
The Doublet:
These are worn mostly by pipe bands and military organizations for formal dress. They would be worn in place of a military dress outfit.
