    Wanted: US size 56R/58R jacket

    I'm looking for a kilt jacket for GOS* such as myself. I wear a US-sized 56 or 58r saxon jacket. I would prefer a jacket with a matching vest/waistcoat but it is not a deal breaker. eBay only has Pakistani jackets in this size. I have bought a jacket from USAK but the shoulders were too large for my sloping shoulders.

    I think it would help if you could tell us what style of jacket your looking for(argyle, Regimental dublet, PC(Prince Charlie) ), what material it’s made of (tweed or berathea) and what colour you want it to help you nerrow down the jacket of your choice.

    Any and all of the above.

    I have a Prince Charlie and vest here; the size number isn't marked, but it's for a 53 1/2" chest. What size would that measure up to? Like new. $210 CDN

    Yet again this site proves to be full of enablers. Today my argyle jacket from this link was delivered, and I have now gone from no kilt jackets to one and a half. The half is a tweed from St. Kilda that should be shipping soon.

    I was left unsupervised a few weeks ago and stumbled upon the clearance section of St Kildas... The kilt is really nice, and the highland green tweed jacket fits quite well! May need a slight adjustment here and there.... saving up for an 18th century jacket, waistcoat combo....

    Enjoy your outfit in good health and cheer!
