Hi Grizzly
Don't know if Basingstoke is too far for you to travel but they have a Slaters Menswear branch there (I think thats the closest one to Southampton) as well as others throughout Britain.
I purchased a made to measure tweed jacket and waistcoat from the Glasgow branch recently at a cost of £240. I am 48" chest. They have several pattern books for you to chose from.

The beauty of having it made to order is that you can choose your own style of sleeve cuff, epaulette etc., or do without.
Give them a call.
Cheers

Grizzly,

Let's not forget Rocky at USAkilts! He is currently offering tweed jackets with waistcoat for $399.99 + a $30 dollar premium for those in mid 50s sizes.

Choice of cuffs, epaulets or not, 1,2, or 3 button all for that same price.

We've been sending kilt related dollars over to you guys for quite a while, here's your chance to send some of it back!!

Rocky's (I believe) are made by St Kilda and are also able to do larger sizes. My size 48 was a St Kilda and I am very happy with the product.

I have a Higgins charcoal tweed and vest as well as a black barathea set, both Argyll designs. Higgins sources their stuff from the UK then inserts their own labels into the finished product. What I have is quality and fits well.

Here is a 56" chest green jacket and vest in the 'sale' for £135 at MacLeod Highland Supplies in Glasgow. A bargain.
