Our velvet version of the Balmoral Doublet features a slightly different cut to the tweed version, designed with sleeker detailing to best emphasise the material. Features plain epaulettes, plain gauntlet cuff
This version is not usually worn with a waistcoat, but can be worn with a kilt belt. Let us know in the comments box if you would require belt loops to be added.
Measuring advice:
Chest:
measure around the chest at under-arm height, over the widest part, while
wearing a shirt or t-shirt, with your arms by your side.
Waist:
measure around the waist at roughly naval height - in line with the top of
the hips. *This is higher than where your trousers sit*. Let us know if
you're wearing your kilt when you do this, as it can sometimes add to your
waist or act as a girdle.
Sleeve
length: find a suit jacket you already own that fits well, and measure
from the shoulder seam down to the cuff. We can check this against
your height.
Back
length: measure from the nape of the neck (where the top of your shirt
sits) to an inch-and-a-half below where the top of your kilt sits. We use
this, the sleeve length and your height to work out a proportional back
length for the jacket. If you have an exact measurement for the back (ie
if you've taken it from a well fitting doublet, from the collar seam to
bottom) please let us know in the additional instructions box
