Re: Need jacket/waistcoat quick - suggestions?
Ok, I just measured both the B/W shepherd's check jacket as well as the Harris Tweed one David mentioned. Both are a 36 chest and 25.5" sleeve.
First, here's the shepherd's check jacket. I took this photo with my phone, so sorry for the quality.

This is made in Scotland from Harris Tweed cloth, and has a matching 5 button waistcoat. It's a brand new jacket. We had it made for a customer who actually needed a 38, so it was a size too small.
Originally this would have retailed for $595. I'll sell it for $295 plus shipping.
I think, personally, that the black and white shepherd's check jacket would go well with just about any tartan and though it may be a bit "loud" by some people's standards is quite traditional with Highland attire. I've seen photos of Sandy MacLean as well as McMurdo in similar jackets and they look just smashing for daywear.
