P.C. jacket questions

[Jock Scot]

My first impression is that it’s hard to imagine a size short jacket fitting a person of your height—isn’t the coatee too short in the sleeves?

As for the tails, I would suggest at a minimum that they should cover the fell in the back (the stitched section above the hanging pleats) with the kilt worn at your natural waist. Any higher than this and it will certainly look like it’s the wrong size.

The simple and sadly expensive solution, is to get a bespoke jacket made by someone who knows what he is doing.

My grandmother had two sayings:
“Buy the best, cry once.”
and
“If you have to ask how much it costs, you can’t afford it.”

She was right, you know.

Indeed she was and is still!
