The Kenmore Doublet is one of the older sorts of
civilian jacket, essentially a modification of a military jacket: this was the
time when the folk who wore Highland dress were often military anyway, hence
blurring the lines. This makes a very smart jacket, with no need for a
waistcoat.
The Kenmore can be worn with or without a
belt. You can keep it plain at the neckline, traditionally this might be
paired with a lace jabot.
Our jackets are made from 100% 19oz Barathea Wool
or Tweed to give a luxurious feel. Also available in velvet – use the dropdown
menu to make your choice.
This item is made to order in our
own tailoring workshop in Glasgow. Lead time is indicated in the drop-down
menu.
Measuring advice:
Chest: measure around the chest at under-arm height, 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. It is recommended, where possible, to
take your waist measurement over your kilt. However, if this is not
possible we can factor this in.
Sleeve
length: find a suit jacket you already own that
fits well, and measure from the shoulder seam down to the cuff.
The jacket's length is made in proportion to your
sleeve and height, but use the additional instruction box if you have specific
requirements.
Each doublet is made to order, with a dispatch time
of six to seven weeks as standard. We can accommodate most requests, so use the
additional instruction box if you have any additional requirements.
