Montrose Doublet jacket

Supplied with a plain leather dirk belt and your choice of buckle to complete your look. The Montrose Doublet is a classic look from the early and mid twentieth century. Traditionally worn with lace cuff and jabot around the neck, although modern wearers often prefer a more stripped back look, with just wing-collar shirt and plain shirt cuffs. Our jackets are made from 100% 19oz Barathea Wool or Tweed to give a luxurious feel. Also available in velvet – please get in contact for further options. This item is made to order in our own tailoring workshop in Glasgow,. Lead time is indicated in the drop-down menu.

Assessing guidance:

Measure around the chest at underarm height with your arms by your sides and a shirt or t-shirt on.
Measure around the waist, in line with the top of the hips, at around naval height. This is higher than the top of your pants. If you’re wearing your kilt when you do this, please let us know because it can sometimes make your waist appear larger or serve as a girdle. Whenever feasible, it is advised to measure your waist over your kilt. But if that’s not feasible, we can take that into consideration.

Measure the length of the sleeves on a well-fitting suit jacket you currently own by taking a measurement from the shoulder seam to the cuff.
The length of the jacket is tailored to your height and sleeve length; however, if you have any special needs, refer to the extra instruction box.

Every doublet is custom-made, and the usual lead time is six to seven weeks. Use the additional instruction box if you have any special criteria; we can usually fulfill most requests.

CUSTOM JACKET SIZE SIZE GUIDE By master kilt

1-Shoulder to shoulder
Put on a well-fitting suit jacket. Keep your arms at your sides. Measure from the shoulder joint until the end, where the other shoulder body ends.

2- Waist
Measure loosely around your “true waist” at your naval while dressed in a shirt.

3-Chest
Lift your arms and wrap the tape measure around your chest at the widest point. Put your arms down. Stand tall and “at ease.” Do not over-inflate your chest. Just stand and breathe normally. Measure loosely around the chest at underarm height while wearing a t-shirt.

4-Sleeve Length
Put on a well-fitting suit jacket. Keep your arms at your sides. Measure from the shoulder seam (the top of the sleeve where it meets the jacket body) to the cuff. If you do not have a suit jacket, measure from the edge of the shoulder down your arm to where you’d like the sleeve to end. Typically, jacket sleeves end 1.5″ to 2″ above the base knuckle of the thumb, breaking at the wrist or slightly lower. Roughly 1/4″ to 1/2″ of the shirt sleeve should show below the cuff of the jacket.

5-back length
Stand straight and ask your partner to measure your body from the backside; it will be from the end of your collar to your waist point. Don’t include lapels in the Prince Charlie jacket; we will include them following coat length.
