Women's Tartan Single Button Fastening Jacket Sizing Guide

Guides banners suit jacket 935x340

Our tartan jackets are the most stylish, beautifully made items you can add to your wardrobe. Every jacket is made to order in the tartan of your choice so we can accommodate any quirky sizes and special requests. If you have a particularly long or short body just let us know and we can adjust the proportions for you so you really will have your perfect jacket carefully made just for you in tartan fabric woven right here in Scotland.

We make our jackets in UK size 8 to 24 (US size 4 to 20) so we can cater for petite and plus sizes. Please note that our ladies Single Button Jacket are made to a matrix, and so only minor adjustments can be made to our standard sizes. If you have a larger bust size and smaller waist please select the correct size to fit your bust and provide us with a waist measurement so we can ensure it is nipped in to show off your curves. If you are more pear shaped then again please select the correct size for your bust and give us a waist and hip measurement and your jacket will be cut accordingly. Any extra information on your shape size is always welcome to help us adapt the patterns to suit you.

To ensure that you get the perfect fit, be sure to follow our measuring tips and advice:

For the most accurate measurements, use a tailors tape measure and have a friend or family member measure for you. Ensure that you stand tall and relaxed while getting measurements taken.

Waist - Measure around the body at the natural waist. Ensure the tape measure is straight across the front and back of the body.

Bust - Measure around the widest part of the bust. Please note this is a different measurement to a bra size, and so the bust measurement should not be taken from a bra label. Ensure the tape measure is straight across the front and back of the body. 

Length - Measure from the nape of the neck straight down the back to the desired length of the jacket.

Sleeve length - Measure from the top of the shoulder straight down the outside of the arm to the desired sleeve length. Take this measurement with your arm straight down by your side.

Please note that our ladies single button jackets are made to a matrix, and so only minor adjustments can be made to our standard sizes.

Buying the Best of Scotland

The Fabric

We use a top quality lightweight 10oz tartan fabric woven in Scotland to make your jacket . If you want a heavier weight coat to wear in winter, we can also use a 13oz or 16oz wool. A small surcharge will apply for heavier fabrics.

Making your Jacket

Buying an exquisite, tailored item created from Scottish cloth is creating a classic piece for your wardrobe that will look good for years. Our coats are made from a lightweight wool woven in Scotland, fully lined and beautifully finished. You can customise lots of details if you wish. See below for all the options!

The Detail

Your jacket is already an original as you choose the tartan, and we tailor it to your measurements. But the fun doesn't end there, and you can request so many details to make your coat even more special. You can choose the colour of your lining. Be bold and go for a contrast colour or take a more sedate co-ordinating colour to suit the occasion. Buttonhole stitching can be emphasised to match a stripe or check. Button colours will match the base colour as standard, or you can select any colour you like. Your jacket is not only made to measure but also made to your specification. Surcharges may apply for some extras. Email us for more information.

The Tartan

Your jacket is made to measure just for you, and you can choose from over 500 Scottish clan tartans. If you can't find the one you are looking for, please ask as we may be able to source it for you.

How to Care for your Tartan Jacket

Properly cared for your jacket will last for years. This is a pure wool fabric and should be dry cleaned only. Wool fabric can become dull with general dust and dirt. Gentle brushing with a garment brush will brighten it up again.
