Charcoal tweed jacket/waistcoat - fit?
I absolutely love the charcoal jacket/waistcoat advertised on the Gift Shop website. I have never bought a jacket for my kilt, but the experience I have had buying a jacket to wear with trousers has left me dissatisfied and questioning my want for a jacket. I understand that I should order one size up from my normal jacket size. My question is about the sleeves. I wear a dress shirt with a 23" sleeve. The measurement guide on the page says that the jacket sleeve length for my size jacket (42S) would be 24". What's frustrating for me about buying jackets is that I never get to show that 1/4" of shirt cuff that is supposedly proper. Is there something I'm not understanding? (Like how my kilt waist measurement is 2" bigger than my trouser waist measurement.) What advice does the rabble have for me?
