    My new argyll jacket has arrived!

    Hello folks,

    I just thought I'd share the fact with you that I'm overjoyed about my new argyll jacket. I had it made to measure as a rush order. arrived in 2 weeks after order. arm length is 74 cm (go go convert to inches =/) and overall length of the back is 70 cm.

    Will post pictures as soon as I can. it fits perfectly and is entirely hand-tailored!

    Had a shitload of discount too.. happy me.

    and concerning my earlier kilt hose thread- I got blue/green blended piper hose. they are perfect as well.

    Hello Howard,

    Can't wait to see the pics mate! I've got an off the rack Argyll and it fits perfectly everywhere but is a little too large in the waist (I've been rockclimbing for years and am a bit wider in the shoulders and across the back and have a skinny waist) and have been toying with the idea of springing for a made to measure.

    Were you at all worried about the fit? Did you have a tailor measure you?

    Before you judge someone be sure to walk a mile in their kilt.
    That way you are at least a mile away and you have their kilt...

    For those who have problems with metric; 74cm is 29 1/8" 70cm is 27 9/16"

    What's the chest size? it is just about right for me as to length
