    Making a few estimates.

    I did some measurements on my jacket, just to see if I could estimate a size. I'd give an approximate chest size of 36", and an approximate sleeve length of 26". My kilt is at the tailor, so I can't do a buckle to buckle measurement. In one of Rocky's videos, he mentioned that the Rise is typically 2". My eyeball estimate suggests that's approximately what this kilt has too. So the Drop would be 23".

    My kilt is at the tailor, so I can't do a buckle to buckle measurement. But in the photo, the straps are in the largest possible hole. My eyeball estimate is that the kilt extends past the buckle by about 2" on each side. So the maximum waist would be approximately 38". Approximately 36" waist if someone's wearing the straps more normally.

    I wouldn't count on those estimates if I was the one buying the kilt and/or jacket, but I think they're reliable enough to tell me not to waste my time.
